170 bars at 174 BPM -- fast, and 3:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-60, snare through bars 61-65, hi-hat through bars 66-104, snare through bars 105-108 and hi-hat through bars 109-112, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-17, 19-25 and 27, and 2 more places -- 15.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
