133 bars of 5/4 -- not four -- at 140 BPM, 4:33 of playing on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 3-22, snare through bars 23-56, hi-hat through bars 57-59, snare through bars 60-80, silence through bars 81-86 and snare through bars 87-98, and 3 more changes after that.
