190 bars at 235 BPM -- fast, and 3:13 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-3, toms through bars 4-5, hi-hat through bars 6-80, ride through bars 81-106 and kick and crashes through bars 107-108, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13, 21 and 29, and 6 more places -- 16.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
