193 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 2-9, hi-hat through bars 10-31, snare through bars 32-35, hi-hat through bars 36-39, ride through bars 40-55 and hi-hat through bars 56-63, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 40-55 and 68-83 -- 16.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
