The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-52, 63-64 and 67-77, and 4 more places -- 62.8% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.
It is played on hi-hat and snare, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 21 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 41 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 78 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 78, 91 and 104 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
