217 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 4:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bar 1, silence through bars 2-5, snare through bars 6-37, ride through bars 38-53, snare through bars 54-69 and ride through bars 70-92, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 6-7, 9 and 12, and 41 more places -- 31% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

190 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.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 27 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
