121 bars of 4/4 at a walking 95 BPM, 5:06 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid 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.
silence through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-12, hi-hat through bars 13-28, snare through bars 29-32, hi-hat through bars 33-56 and snare through bars 57-58, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15, 17-23 and 25-28, and 7 more places -- 31.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
