201 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:57 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
64 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 1-4, snare through bars 5-6, ride through bars 7-14, snare through bars 15-22, ride through bars 23-31 and snare through bars 32-45, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15-17, 19-20 and 48-50, and 15 more places -- 26.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
