154 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 3:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-22, hi-hat through bars 23-44, ride through bars 45-60, hi-hat through bars 61-82, ride through bars 83-98 and hi-hat through bars 99-114, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-51, 53-59 and 83-89, and 7 more places -- 26.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

172 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
