137 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 2:41 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-12, snare through bars 13-20, hi-hat through bars 21-30, snare through bars 31-45 and hi-hat through bars 46-50, and 10 more changes after that.
