162 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 3:46 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
50 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-28, kick and crashes through bars 29-30, silence through bars 31-36, hi-hat through bars 37-38, toms through bars 39-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-84, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 9-10, and 17 more places -- 34.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
