208 bars at 184 BPM -- fast, and 4:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-16, snare through bars 17-18, toms through bars 19-24, hi-hat through bars 25-30 and silence through bars 31-38, and 20 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 53-59, 61-62 and 69-70, and 2 more places -- 9.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

184 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
