139 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:29 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
57 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, kick and crashes through bars 2-6, snare through bars 7-68, hi-hat through bars 69-76, snare through bars 77-98 and toms through bars 99-100, and 6 more changes after that.
