114 bars of 4/4 at a walking 77 BPM, 5:55 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-28, hi-hat through bars 29-40, ride through bars 41-52, hi-hat through bars 53-60 and ride through bars 61-72, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 10-11 and 14-15, and 7 more places -- 20.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

77 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
