111 bars, 6:08, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
36 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-9, snare through bars 10-18, hi-hat through bars 19-42, snare through bars 43-50, hi-hat through bars 51-66 and snare through bars 67-70, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 27-41, 51-57 and 59-64, and 2 more places -- 42.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
