The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 3-10, 19-26 and 153-160 -- 16.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on crash, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 49 out of 100 -- a step up -- and the thing that decides that is how many notes a second it asks for.
The whole song is 63 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 105 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 105, 123 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.
