170 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 3:57 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
46 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, snare through bars 25-32, hi-hat through bars 33-35 and toms through bars 36-37, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-6, 17 and 19, and 11 more places -- 17.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

172 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.
46 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
