172 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:18 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-12, kick and crashes through bars 13-98, snare through bars 99-102, hi-hat through bars 103-152, snare through bars 153-156 and hi-hat through bars 157-172.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 103-105, 107 and 109, and 17 more places -- 28.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

160 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.
35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
