218 bars of 4/4 at a walking 100 BPM, 8:43 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-42, snare through bars 43-44, ride through bars 45-46, snare through bars 47-48, ride through bars 49-50 and toms through bars 51-52, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11, 15 and 19, and 14 more places -- 19.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

100 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.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
