136 bars of 4/4 at a walking 97 BPM, 5:35 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-12, kick and crashes through bars 13-24, hi-hat through bars 25-130, toms through bars 131-133 and silence through bars 134-136.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-51, 61-63 and 65-75, and 4 more places -- 33.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
