179 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 2:59 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-30, ride through bars 31-37, toms through bars 38-39, ride through bars 40-42, toms through bars 43-46 and hi-hat through bars 47-59, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 111-117 and 119-125 -- 7.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
