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?

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

126 bars, about 4:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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?

19 fills to learn, played 43 times: bars 15, 16, 17, 24, 25, 26 and 37 more.
