THE BEAT

One bar, and 34% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20-27, 44-51 and 70, and 1 more place -- 34.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Questions

What BPM is Overcome?

98 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 Overcome hard to play on drums?

56 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 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

92 bars, about 3:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 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 Overcome?

7 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 5, 19, 28, 43, 52, 57 and 4 more.
