305 bars at 189 BPM -- fast, and 5:42 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-62, toms through bars 63-64, hi-hat through bars 65-76, snare through bars 77-80, ride through bars 81-94 and toms through bars 95-96, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 9, and 25 more places -- 13.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
