The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-48, 50-80 and 82-112, and 3 more places -- 59.9% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 15 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how often it moves around the kit.
The whole song is 37 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 102 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 102, 119 and 136 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
