103 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 3:55 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-11, hi-hat through bars 12-32, snare through bars 33-35, hi-hat through bars 36-41, snare through bars 42-48 and hi-hat through bars 49-82, and 3 more changes after that.
