98 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 3:33 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
kick and crashes through bar 1, snare through bars 2-3, hi-hat through bars 4-7, snare through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-13 and snare through bars 14-15, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-67 and 69-71 -- 10.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
