280 bars at 182 BPM -- fast, and 6:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
54 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 1-16, snare through bars 17-29, silence through bars 30-36, hi-hat through bars 37-83, snare through bars 84-96 and hi-hat through bars 97-127, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-20, 25-27 and 85-88, and 9 more places -- 18.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
