162 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-6, toms through bars 7-8, hi-hat through bars 9-24, ride through bars 25-27, hi-hat through bars 28-30 and snare through bars 31-54, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 31-37, 39-44 and 77-83, and 6 more places -- 31.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
