95 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 70 BPM, 4:09 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
kick and crashes through bars 1-5, silence through bars 6-7, snare through bars 8-11, ride through bars 12-15, snare through bars 16-19 and ride through bars 20-41, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-39 -- 18.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
