178 bars at 217 BPM -- fast, and 3:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, kick and crashes through bars 2-5, hi-hat through bars 6-21, snare through bars 22-41, hi-hat through bars 42-49 and ride through bars 50-57, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 34-40 and 66-72, and 2 more places -- 15.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
