204 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:37 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-14, hi-hat through bars 15-16, ride through bars 17-19, hi-hat through bars 20-124 and ride through bars 125-134, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-48, 50-56 and 78-84, and 1 more place -- 11.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
