183 bars at 224 BPM -- fast, and 3:14 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 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 1-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-9, ride through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-53, silence through bars 54-56 and toms through bars 57-61, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 38-44, 46-52 and 90-96, and 6 more places -- 33% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

224 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
