67 bars, 4:00, at 67 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-45, toms through bars 46-55 and hi-hat through bars 56-67.
