104 bars of 4/4 at a walking 82 BPM, 5:04 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-9, hi-hat through bars 10-25, ride through bars 26-31, hi-hat through bars 32-39 and ride through bars 40-45, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-12, 14-16 and 18-20, and 5 more places -- 23.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

82 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
