32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-9, hi-hat through bars 10-37, snare through bars 38-45, kick and crashes through bars 46-49 and hi-hat through bars 50-77, and 4 more changes after that.
