90 bars of 4/4 at 123 BPM, about 2:56 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick.
34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
snare through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-25, toms through bars 26-37, snare through bars 38-45, hi-hat through bars 46-61 and toms through bars 62-73, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-25 and 47-61 -- 34.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
