The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-32, 35-37 and 39-41, and 4 more places -- 41.5% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on snare, kick and hi-hat foot, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 15 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the independence between the hands and the feet.
The whole song is 25 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 68 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 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 68, 79 and 90 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
