194 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:19 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-23, hi-hat through bars 24-32, snare through bars 33-39, toms through bars 40-42 and snare through bars 43-68, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 45-47, 53-55 and 133-135, and 3 more places -- 11.2% 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.
57 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 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
