72 bars, 4:34, at 63 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
snare through bars 2-10, hi-hat through bars 11-22, snare through bars 23-24, hi-hat through bars 25-48, ride through bars 49-50 and hi-hat through bars 51-56, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-18, 21-22 and 25-27, and 5 more places -- 35.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

63 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
42 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
