299 bars of 4/4 at 124 BPM, about 9:39 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-55, snare through bars 56-71, silence through bars 72-86, hi-hat through bars 87-119 and snare through bars 120-127, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-25, 32 and 36-37, and 42 more places -- 30.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
