The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-4, 7-8 and 11-12, and 6 more places -- 17.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 42 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 135 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 135, 158 and 180 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
