199 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-18, ride through bars 19-26, hi-hat through bars 27-44, ride through bars 45-52, snare through bars 53-60 and hi-hat through bars 61-68, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-66, 77-84 and 93-99, and 1 more place -- 23.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
