The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-31, 34-40 and 46-52, and 6 more places -- 56.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 24 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 53 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 113 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 113, 132 and 151 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
