140 bars at 180 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.
55 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 1-10, snare through bars 11-32, toms through bars 33-34, ride through bars 35-42, snare through bars 43-52 and ride through bars 53-54, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-13, 15-17 and 19-21, and 7 more places -- 21.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 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.
55 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
