135 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:11 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-7, snare through bars 8-14, toms through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-25, snare through bars 26-29 and hi-hat through bars 30-41, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 50-65, 102-108 and 110-116, and 7 more places -- 30.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
