162 bars, 8:56, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-9, ride through bars 10-13, toms through bars 14-24, ride through bars 25-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-32, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 119, 121-125 and 129-136 -- 10.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
