87 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 2:54 of playing, on crash, ride, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
31 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
snare through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-16, silence through bars 17-19, toms through bars 20-25, snare through bars 26-29 and toms through bars 30-33, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 39-41, and 3 more places -- 26.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
