215 bars at 250 BPM -- fast, and 3:26 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-49, toms through bars 50-51, kick and crashes through bars 52-65, toms through bars 66-67 and silence through bars 68-71, and 12 more changes after that.
