182 bars of 4/4 at a walking 104 BPM, 7:00 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how fine the subdivision is the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-6, silence through bars 7-21, kick and crashes through bars 22-24, toms through bars 25-38 and kick and crashes through bars 39-40, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 140-143 and 172-182 -- 14.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
