THE BEAT

One bar, and 8% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-4, 6-8 and 59 -- 8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Questions

What BPM is Oblivions Peak?

88 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Oblivions Peak hard to play on drums?

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

90 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Oblivions Peak?

15 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 9, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 and 20 more.
