100 bars of 4/4 at a walking 80 BPM, 5:00 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
silence through bars 1-18, snare through bars 19-28, toms through bars 29-37, silence through bars 38-54, hi-hat through bars 55-60 and snare through bars 61-72, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-62, 64 and 69-71, and 2 more places -- 13.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
