The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 17-28 and 31-37, and 10 more places -- 52.6% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 19 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how often it moves around the kit.
The whole song is 36 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 125 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 125, 146 and 167 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
