81 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 3:14 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-12, silence through bars 13-20, kick and crashes through bars 21-23, hi-hat through bars 24-32 and toms through bars 33-48, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-12, 25-32 and 57-63 -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
