140 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:06 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
snare through bars 1-18, hi-hat through bars 19-34, ride through bars 35-42, snare through bars 43-55, hi-hat through bars 56-71 and silence through bars 72-87, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 19-25, 27-33 and 56-62, and 1 more place -- 22.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 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.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
