Questions

What BPM is Over & Over?

96 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 & Over hard to play on drums?

54 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

211 bars, about 8:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 2 sittings, about 30 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, 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 & Over?

3 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 64, 96, 116, 174 and 204.
