197 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-24, toms through bars 25-28, hi-hat through bars 29-33, snare through bars 34-40 and toms through bars 41-42, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-4, 35-36 and 38-40, and 2 more places -- 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.

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
