106 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 3:32 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.
30 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 3-33, kick and crashes through bars 34-50, hi-hat through bars 51-73, kick and crashes through bars 74-82, hi-hat through bars 83-85 and kick and crashes through bars 86-88, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-9, 11-17 and 19-25, and 4 more places -- 33% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
