153 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:36 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

silence through bars 1-16, snare through bars 17-101, silence through bars 102-108, toms through bars 109-136 and hi-hat through bars 137-153.

44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
