165 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:08 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-25, silence through bars 26-32, hi-hat through bars 33-48, ride through bars 49-56 and hi-hat through bars 57-68, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 17-23 and 101-107, and 6 more places -- 19.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
