105 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 2:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, ride through bars 2-5, snare through bars 6-15, silence through bars 16-17, hi-hat through bars 18-20 and toms through bars 21-26, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 40, 42-44 and 46-47, and 3 more places -- 12.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 72 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
