111 bars, 6:00, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-19, snare through bars 20-27, hi-hat through bars 28-30, ride through bars 31-32, snare through bars 33-39 and ride through bars 40-48, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-50, 52-56 and 77-80 -- 9.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

72 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
