266 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 7:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bar 1, snare through bars 2-6, hi-hat through bars 7-22, snare through bars 23-28, hi-hat through bars 29-45 and snare through bars 46-49, and 20 more changes after that.

170 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.
53 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
