132 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 3:22 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-24, snare through bars 25-36, hi-hat through bars 37-52, snare through bars 53-68 and hi-hat through bars 69-114, and 1 more change after that.
