140 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:30 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bar 1, kick and crashes through bars 2-7, snare through bars 8-68, hi-hat through bars 69-84, snare through bars 85-98 and toms through bars 99-100, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13 and 15, and 18 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

60 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
