144 bars at 163 BPM -- fast, and 3:32 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
silence through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-45, snare through bars 46-70, toms through bars 71-73, hi-hat through bars 74-91 and snare through bars 92-118, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 54-56, 58-60 and 62-64, and 4 more places -- 18.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
