121 bars of 4/4 at a walking 79 BPM, 6:05 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
ride through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-20, ride through bars 21-28, hi-hat through bars 29-40, ride through bars 41-48 and snare through bars 49-59, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-19, 29-39 and 68-74 -- 24% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

79 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
