147 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 2:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-6, toms through bars 7-8, ride through bars 9-18, hi-hat through bars 19-34, ride through bars 35-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-126, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-25, 27 and 29-31, and 7 more places -- 12.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
