The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-2, 7-16 and 22-36, and 3 more places -- 67.9% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.
It is played on the kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 0 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how fine the subdivision is.
The whole song is 25 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 94 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 94, 109 and 125 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.

Bars 1-2, 7-16, 22-36 and 42-52, and 2 more places. The time is kept on the kick and crashes to start with, and it changes 12 times over the song.
0 out of 100 on its own -- straightforward. The song as a whole is 25 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
