113 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 156 BPM, 4:19 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-27, toms through bars 28-30, snare through bars 31-37, hi-hat through bars 38-44 and toms through bars 45-47, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-15, 17 and 19-23, and 2 more places -- 33.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
