159 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 3:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bar 1, snare through bars 2-17, hi-hat through bars 18-24, snare through bars 25-32, ride through bars 33-41 and hi-hat through bars 42-49, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-6, 8-14 and 16, and 4 more places -- 17.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

186 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.
52 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
