79 bars, 4:27, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-45, toms through bars 46-53, hi-hat through bars 54-77 and toms through bars 78-79.
