70 bars of 4/4 at a walking 88 BPM, 3:11 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-6, silence through bars 7-10, snare through bars 11-18, toms through bars 19-21 and hi-hat through bars 22-34, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-27, 46-54 and 67-69 -- 31.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
