210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
