85 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 1:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-8, toms through bars 9-13, hi-hat through bars 14-29, kick and crashes through bars 30-31, ride through bars 32-37 and hi-hat through bars 38-45, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-21, 29 and 34, and 9 more places -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
