Questions

What BPM is "Over It"?

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is "Over It" hard to play on drums?

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

116 bars, about 2:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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

How many fills are in "Over It"?

5 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 41, 47, 63, 79, 87, 91 and 5 more.
