THE BEAT

One bar, and 16% of the song

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-23, 25-31 and 41-47, and 1 more place -- 16.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
