134 bars at 162 BPM -- fast, and 3:19 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-10, toms through bars 11-26, silence through bars 27-30, hi-hat through bars 31-54, silence through bars 55-58 and toms through bars 59-70, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 32-45, 72-74 and 76-78, and 6 more places -- 34.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

162 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
