165 bars, 9:00, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-36, hi-hat through bars 37-44, snare through bars 45-68, hi-hat through bars 69-76 and snare through bars 77-100, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-19, 53-54 and 57-67, and 1 more place -- 19.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
