65 bars of 4/4 at a walking 78 BPM, 3:20 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
42 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-21, snare through bars 22-27, ride through bars 28-30, silence through bars 31-37 and kick and crashes through bars 38-45, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-12, 14-21 and 50-51, and 1 more place -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
