116 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 4:13 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
ride through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-16, ride through bars 17-20, toms through bars 21-35, hi-hat through bars 36-51 and ride through bars 52-59, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-16, 21-34 and 60-73 -- 34.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
