140 bars of 4/4 at 135 BPM, about 4:09 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-25, toms through bars 26-32, silence through bars 33-39 and toms through bars 40-41, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 14-16 and 18-20, and 6 more places -- 29.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
