120 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:00 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-14, ride through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, snare through bars 25-38 and silence through bars 39-54, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-14, 55-58 and 77-78, and 1 more place -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
