154 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
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 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-44, snare through bars 45-51, toms through bars 52-61, ride through bars 62-64 and hi-hat through bars 65-72, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 53-55, 57-59 and 81-83, and 7 more places -- 18.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 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 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
