307 bars, 17:00, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bars 2-4, snare through bars 5-6, silence through bars 7-12, toms through bars 13-27, kick and crashes through bars 28-29 and snare through bars 30-39, and 32 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 226-232, 234-235 and 237, and 4 more places -- 16.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
