172 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-25, silence through bars 26-32, hi-hat through bars 33-60, snare through bars 61-78 and hi-hat through bars 79-122, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 41, 45 and 47, and 20 more places -- 16.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
