Similar, but metal. This is the extended verison that goes to 110 digits.

"The numbers and rests in the formula translate to 16th notes on the kick drum, and 16th note rests. There is no kick drum beats where there are snare drums.

With the decimal point BEFORE the number, and starting with the first number, move that many decimal points to the right and insert that many 16th note rests. Use one 16th note rest to divide the numbers you passed (when applicable). Continue on throughout the rest of the figure. No repeats."

The details of the video have the full explanation

Literally this should contain all the songs written, and the ones haven't written yet.
