185 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:37 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 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 1-17, ride through bars 18-25, snare through bars 26-41, ride through bars 42-47, snare through bars 48-49 and hi-hat through bars 50-63, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-4, 6-12 and 14-16, and 8 more places -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
