212 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 5:24 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-7, snare through bars 8-16, ride through bars 17-30, toms through bars 31-32, hi-hat through bars 33-48 and snare through bars 49-76, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 77-92 and 137-160 -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
