203 bars at 162 BPM -- fast, and 4:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-5, silence through bars 6-12, hi-hat through bars 13-54, snare through bars 55-64, hi-hat through bars 65-98 and snare through bars 99-106, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-15, 17-19 and 21-23, and 23 more places -- 34.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

162 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.
58 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
