144 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

silence through bars 1-24, hi-hat through bars 25-48, silence through bars 49-52, snare through bars 53-54, hi-hat through bars 55-72 and snare through bars 73-78, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 27, 29 and 31, and 4 more places -- 16.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
