171 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 5:42 of playing, on ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.
29 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-25, snare through bars 26-40, kick and crashes through bars 41-55, hi-hat through bars 56-105 and ride through bars 106-110, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-5, 56-75 and 86-88, and 4 more places -- 31.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
