210 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-5, ride through bars 6-7, hi-hat through bars 8-9, ride through bars 10-11, hi-hat through bars 12-13 and ride through bars 14-15, and 26 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-48, 50-56 and 58-64, and 4 more places -- 22% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

170 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.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
