68 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 1:40 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-11, snare through bars 12-31, hi-hat through bars 32-35, snare through bars 36-39, hi-hat through bars 40-43 and snare through bars 44-47, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 20-22, 24-26 and 32-35, and 2 more places -- 26.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
