64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-7, ride through bars 8-32, hi-hat through bars 33-93, snare through bars 94-100, hi-hat through bars 101-105 and snare through bars 106-112, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 35, 38 and 41, and 15 more places -- 30.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
