See if this helps: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Anu7Lv7j8w8ghOFMW7M ... w?e=1XItTs
It's not the entire song just an idea to work off of. I would use Machine as the Drummer since you'll be mostly hand editing and set the Fill focus to mostly Snare with minimal Toms. Hope it helps.

I just uploaded a midi file tempo map for the whole song. I forgot to upload it originally.

not sure how to implement tempo map. does the tempo vary that greatly.?
i was just going to go with 125 bpm.

not sure how to implement tempo map.

I use Reaper and it is really easy but I don't know what DAW you are using. 125bpm should be close enough, it varies a few bpm here and there.

wont the tempo vary on all rock songs from 60-70s that where not synced?
or are certain parts dragging and speeding up.?
i should have said never imported a tempo map into reaper.
i looked it up , simple.
thank you

Yes, there was no such thing as a click track in those days. That's just the natural tempo fluctuations that occur when humans record live in the studio together.
