205 bars at 173 BPM -- fast, and 4:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-25, toms through bars 26-33, hi-hat through bars 34-41, snare through bars 42-59 and toms through bars 60-74, and 9 more changes after that.
