185 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 4:33 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-10, hi-hat through bars 11-26, ride through bars 27-34, hi-hat through bars 35-53 and toms through bars 54-84, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3, 5 and 7, and 14 more places -- 10.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
