The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 38-58, 86-106 and 150-156 -- 28.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
It is played on ride, hi-hat and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 73 out of 100 -- demanding -- and the thing that decides that is how much of it falls off the beat.
The whole song is 57 out of 100, so the beat is most of what the song asks for. Get it clean and the rest follows.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 77 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 5 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 77, 93, 109, 124 and 140 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
