137 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 2:32 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-22, silence through bars 23-25, hi-hat through bars 26-33, ride through bars 34-41 and hi-hat through bars 42-49, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 78-80, 82-84 and 86-92, and 5 more places -- 23.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
