157 bars of 4/4 at a walking 83 BPM, 7:31 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-39, silence through bars 40-42, hi-hat through bars 43-63, silence through bars 64-74 and kick and crashes through bars 75-77, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 11-16 and 19-25, and 3 more places -- 27% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
