Questions

What BPM is Overactive Imagination?

205 BPM, in 6/4, 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 Overactive Imagination hard to play on drums?

79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

146 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 17 sittings, about 23 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 Overactive Imagination?

8 fills to learn, played 32 times: bars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 26 more.
