The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 15-21, 23-29 and 43-45, and 2 more places -- 23.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
It is played on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 24 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 42 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 119 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 3 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 119, 138 and 158 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
