299 bars at 260 BPM -- fast, and 4:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
55 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 1-3, silence through bars 4-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-7, snare through bars 8-11, hi-hat through bars 12-16 and toms through bars 17-18, and 24 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 79-80, 83-85 and 87-89, and 15 more places -- 26% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
