63 bars of 4/4 at 130 BPM, about 2:06 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-9, snare through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-22, ride through bars 23-24 and hi-hat through bars 25-51, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 14-16 and 18 -- 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.
