158 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:31 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bar 1, silence through bars 2-5, hi-hat through bars 6-13, snare through bars 14-26, silence through bars 27-35 and toms through bars 36-52, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 36-38, 40-42 and 44-46, and 13 more places -- 45.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
