171 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 3:07 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
kick and crashes through bars 1-33, silence through bars 34-39, ride through bars 40-45, silence through bars 46-55, ride through bars 56-62 and toms through bars 63-95, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-32 -- 22.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
