139 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:29 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-29, ride through bars 30-45, hi-hat through bars 46-69, ride through bars 70-101 and snare through bars 102-105, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 14-20, 22-27 and 54-60, and 1 more place -- 19.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
