The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 35-41, 59-65 and 71-77, and 1 more place -- 34.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
It is played on crash and snare, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 9 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 31 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 83 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 83, 96 and 110 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.

Bars 35-41, 59-65, 71-77 and 79-85. The time is kept on the silence to start with, and it changes 17 times over the song.
9 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 31 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how fine the subdivision is the part that decides it.
