205 bars of 4/4 at a walking 85 BPM, 9:44 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-9, ride through bars 10-18, silence through bars 19-72, toms through bars 73-80 and snare through bars 81-88, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 22-63 -- 22.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
