164 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:52 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-31, toms through bars 32-36, snare through bars 37-52, hi-hat through bars 53-76 and snare through bars 77-90, and 9 more changes after that.
