171 bars of 4/4 at a walking 91 BPM, 7:27 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-11, toms through bars 12-23, hi-hat through bars 24-83, kick and crashes through bars 84-94, silence through bars 95-96 and toms through bars 97-108, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 109-135 and 137-139 -- 17.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
