161 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
silence through bars 1-7, snare through bars 8-24, hi-hat through bars 25-40, ride through bars 41-56, hi-hat through bars 57-88 and ride through bars 89-108, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42, 44 and 46, and 22 more places -- 16.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

155 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.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
