96 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:24 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.
34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
kick and crashes through bars 1-7, snare through bars 8-36, kick and crashes through bars 37-42, snare through bars 43-54, hi-hat through bars 55-57 and silence through bars 58-63, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-43, 45-47 and 49-51, and 5 more places -- 80% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
