121 bars at 166 BPM -- fast, and 2:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-6, toms through bars 7-22, hi-hat through bars 23-30, ride through bars 31-38 and hi-hat through bars 39-78, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 31-33, 35-37 and 79-81, and 1 more place -- 10.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

166 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
