138 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
64 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 1-7, hi-hat through bars 8-56, ride through bars 57-64, toms through bars 65-66, hi-hat through bars 67-68 and toms through bars 69-70, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 25-31, and 7 more places -- 28.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

165 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.
64 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
