138 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 3:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-17, silence through bars 18-19, hi-hat through bars 20-25, snare through bars 26-29 and hi-hat through bars 30-43, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 50, 52 and 118, and 1 more place -- 15% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

175 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.
51 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
