124 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 4:58 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-6, toms through bars 7-8, ride through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-30 and ride through bars 31-34, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17, 19 and 25, and 8 more places -- 12.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
