Questions

What BPM is Overstepping complete?

205 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 Overstepping complete hard to play on drums?

54 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

194 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 105 exercises over 28 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 Overstepping complete?

28 fills to learn, played 67 times: bars 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 61 more.
