190 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bar 1, silence through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-14, silence through bars 15-22, ride through bars 23-54 and hi-hat through bars 55-70, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17, 19 and 21, and 18 more places -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
