Questions

What BPM is Overlord?

110 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 Overlord hard to play on drums?

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

189 bars, about 6:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 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 Overlord?

12 fills to learn, played 26 times: bars 16, 26, 34, 50, 60, 68 and 20 more.
