Questions

What BPM is Override Of The Overture?

206 BPM, in 4/4, 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 Override Of The Overture hard to play on drums?

64 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

251 bars, about 4:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 54 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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 Override Of The Overture?

12 fills to learn, played 25 times: bars 7, 8, 26, 28, 46, 52 and 19 more.
