160 bars at 164 BPM -- fast, and 3:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-32, kick and crashes through bars 33-36, toms through bars 37-39, ride through bars 40-74, hi-hat through bars 75-90 and kick and crashes through bars 91-94, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-48, 50-55 and 58-64, and 5 more places -- 32.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

164 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.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
