280 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 7:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-12, ride through bars 13-16, hi-hat through bars 17-32, ride through bars 33-41, silence through bars 42-48 and hi-hat through bars 49-64, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-11, 17-24 and 250-253, and 3 more places -- 14.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

155 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.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 93 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
