80 bars at 255 BPM -- fast, and 1:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-9, kick and crashes through bars 10-11, ride through bars 12-13, hi-hat through bars 14-17 and ride through bars 18-19, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-19, 22-23 and 26, and 1 more place -- 8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
