122 bars at 162 BPM -- fast, and 3:01 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-12, silence through bars 13-14, snare through bars 15-18, toms through bars 19-20, snare through bars 21-34 and toms through bars 35-36, and 9 more changes after that.
