161 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-9, snare through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-33, toms through bars 34-41, snare through bars 42-55 and toms through bars 56-57, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10, 12 and 14, and 17 more places -- 32% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

56 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
