THE BEAT

One bar, and 26% of the song

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 35-37, 39-41 and 43-45, and 1 more place -- 25.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Over Each Other?

148 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 Over Each Other hard to play on drums?

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

100 bars, about 2:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 7 sittings, about 29 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 Over Each Other?

5 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 34, 70, 83, 84, 92, 99 and 1 more.
