128 bars of 4/4 at a walking 96 BPM, 5:20 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
43 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 5-24, ride through bars 25-40, hi-hat through bars 41-60, ride through bars 61-97 and silence through bars 98-100, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-13, 15-23 and 41-49, and 2 more places -- 34.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
