148 bars, 8:20, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-12, kick and crashes through bars 13-17, hi-hat through bars 18-77, toms through bars 78-79, snare through bars 80-81 and hi-hat through bars 82-146, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-24, 26-31 and 35-40, and 18 more places -- 67.4% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.
