Questions

What BPM is Over The Mountain?

140 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 Over The Mountain hard to play on drums?

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

147 bars, about 4:12 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 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 The Mountain?

14 fills to learn, played 35 times: bars 1, 2, 10, 26, 27, 28 and 29 more.
