119 bars of 4/4 at a walking 80 BPM, 5:57 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
36 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-3, kick and crashes through bars 4-9, hi-hat through bars 10-47, snare through bars 48-53, hi-hat through bars 54-57 and snare through bars 58-59, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-35, 38-39 and 41-43, and 5 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
