207 bars at 233 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-15, hi-hat through bars 16-32, ride through bars 33-56, hi-hat through bars 57-64, silence through bars 65-66 and hi-hat through bars 67-96, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-35, 37-39 and 41-43, and 7 more places -- 22.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

233 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 40 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.
