57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-19, snare through bars 20-21, hi-hat through bars 22-35, ride through bars 36-38 and snare through bars 39-42, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 22, 24-30 and 77 -- 8.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

175 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.
57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
