150 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-16, silence through bars 17-19, toms through bars 20-23, hi-hat through bars 24-31, ride through bars 32-47 and hi-hat through bars 48-55, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 48-49, 52-53 and 72-73, and 9 more places -- 13.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
