144 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 2:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-25, ride through bars 26-28, silence through bars 29-47, snare through bars 48-63, ride through bars 64-88 and silence through bars 89-104, and 4 more changes after that.
