The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-31, 33-40 and 46-70, and 2 more places -- 49.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on hi-hat and snare, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 31 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 53 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 92 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 92, 108 and 123 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
