146 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
43 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-8, ride through bars 9-14, snare through bars 15-16 and hi-hat through bars 17-34, and 17 more changes after that.
