161 bars, 21:25, at 30 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 2-11, silence through bars 12-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, ride through bars 25-26, hi-hat through bars 27-30 and ride through bars 31-32, and 29 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25, 31 and 37-39, and 16 more places -- 27% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

30 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.
