190 bars of 4/4 at 135 BPM, about 5:34 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-61, silence through bars 62-75, ride through bars 76-86, kick and crashes through bars 87-111 and hi-hat through bars 112-113, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-12, 27-28 and 43-44, and 5 more places -- 13% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
