205 bars of 4/4 at a walking 85 BPM, 9:37 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-13, ride through bars 14-21, toms through bars 22-27, ride through bars 28-34, toms through bars 35-43 and hi-hat through bars 44-52, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 44-50, 60 and 62, and 5 more places -- 13.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

85 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
