133 bars at 166 BPM -- fast, and 3:12 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-8, snare through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-32, snare through bars 33-52 and hi-hat through bars 53-59, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-31, 57-58 and 93-97, and 6 more places -- 15.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
166 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 33 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.
