152 bars at 167 BPM -- fast, and 3:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-15, hi-hat through bars 16-116, snare through bars 117-123, hi-hat through bars 124-144 and ride through bars 145-152.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 57-62, 65-70 and 97-102, and 3 more places -- 25.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
