159 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 3:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 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 bars 1-23, hi-hat through bars 24-40, snare through bars 41-47, hi-hat through bars 48-76, ride through bars 77-87 and snare through bars 88-126, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 11-13 and 15, and 8 more places -- 11.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

168 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.
53 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
