164 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-15, toms through bars 16-17, ride through bars 18-24, hi-hat through bars 25-32 and toms through bars 33-48, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 17-22, 33-35 and 37, and 12 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
