129 bars at 161 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.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, ride through bars 2-3, snare through bars 4-5, ride through bars 6-7, hi-hat through bars 8-29 and ride through bars 30-31, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 10-25 and 42-57 -- 25.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

161 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
