120 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 4:22 of playing, on snare, high tom, mid tom and floor tom.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
snare through bars 1-5, toms through bars 6-7, silence through bars 8-10, toms through bars 11-46, silence through bars 47-50 and toms through bars 51-60, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 16, 20 and 22, and 28 more places -- 29.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
