154 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-27, toms through bars 28-30, hi-hat through bars 31-52, snare through bars 53-60 and hi-hat through bars 61-64, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-16 and 97-104 -- 11% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
