165 bars at 214 BPM -- fast, and 3:07 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-19, hi-hat through bars 20-38, ride through bars 39-42, hi-hat through bars 43-44, kick and crashes through bars 45-46 and hi-hat through bars 47-58, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19, 21 and 23, and 5 more places -- 13.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
