141 bars, 8:04, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-40, toms through bars 41-72, hi-hat through bars 73-103, snare through bars 104-135 and kick and crashes through bars 136-137, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 41-71 -- 22% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

70 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
