202 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 3:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bar 1, silence through bars 2-6, toms through bars 7-8, hi-hat through bars 9-86, toms through bars 87-88 and hi-hat through bars 89-94, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 17-23 and 25-31, and 4 more places -- 31.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
