135 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 2:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-25, toms through bars 26-33, ride through bars 34-35, hi-hat through bars 36-56, snare through bars 57-63 and hi-hat through bars 64-79, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-6, 8 and 24, and 9 more places -- 31.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
