170 bars of 4/4 at 140 BPM, about 4:32 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-8, snare through bars 9-15, toms through bars 16-17, ride through bars 18-25 and snare through bars 26-31, and 20 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 73-74, 77-80 and 83-86, and 5 more places -- 16.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
