122 bars, 6:30, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot 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.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-28, snare through bars 29-44, hi-hat through bars 45-48, snare through bars 49-60 and ride through bars 61-77, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-76 and 118-121 -- 16.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
