136 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 3:14 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-24, snare through bars 25-40, silence through bars 41-48, hi-hat through bars 49-65, snare through bars 66-80 and silence through bars 81-88, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 25, 27-29 and 31-33, and 10 more places -- 35.4% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
