88 bars of 4/4 at a walking 77 BPM, 4:28 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-18, toms through bars 19-20, hi-hat through bars 21-41, ride through bars 42-56 and hi-hat through bars 57-64, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18, 21 and 34, and 1 more place -- 9.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

77 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.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
