110 bars of 4/4 at 116 BPM, about 3:48 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.
30 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
snare through bars 2-6, kick and crashes through bars 7-14, hi-hat through bars 15-20, snare through bars 21-34, hi-hat through bars 35-37 and snare through bars 38-40, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-13, 43-44 and 61-64, and 6 more places -- 29.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
