101 bars of 4/4 at a walking 76 BPM, 5:15 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-12, hi-hat through bars 13-21, toms through bars 22-23, hi-hat through bars 24-31 and ride through bars 32-53, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-34, 38 and 41-43, and 2 more places -- 13.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
