122 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 2:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-9, snare through bars 10-11, hi-hat through bars 12-19, snare through bars 20-27 and ride through bars 28-35, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20, 22-26 and 96-110 -- 20.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
