159 bars at 167 BPM -- fast, and 3:49 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom and kick.
28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-22, snare through bars 23-38, hi-hat through bars 39-54, snare through bars 55-98, hi-hat through bars 99-114 and snare through bars 115-159.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-38, 55-85 and 87-97, and 3 more places -- 63.5% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.
