111 bars, 6:46, at 65 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-7, ride through bars 8-13, silence through bars 14-31, kick and crashes through bars 32-35, silence through bars 36-39 and hi-hat through bars 40-48, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49, 51 and 53, and 5 more places -- 18.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
