97 bars of 4/4 at a walking 89 BPM, 4:22 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-32, snare through bars 33-40, hi-hat through bars 41-48, snare through bars 49-56, ride through bars 57-64 and hi-hat through bars 65-73, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-40, 49-56 and 82-96 -- 32% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
