145 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:37 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-12, hi-hat through bars 13-15, ride through bars 16-20, hi-hat through bars 21-37 and ride through bars 38-41, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-37, 55-66 and 112-123, and 1 more place -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
