The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 37-43, 76-82 and 101-103, and 4 more places -- 27.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
It is played on ride, snare, kick and hi-hat foot, counted in thirty-second notes. On its own it scores 48 out of 100 -- a step up -- and the thing that decides that is the independence between the hands and the feet.
The whole song is 49 out of 100, so the beat is most of what the song asks for. Get it clean and the rest follows.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 92 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 92, 107 and 122 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
