The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-26, 35-50 and 59-74, and 1 more place -- 70.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.
It is played on snare, floor tom and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 22 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is how many notes a second it asks for.
The whole song is 33 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 90 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 90, 105 and 120 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
