141 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:38 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-23, toms through bars 24-29, ride through bars 30-49, hi-hat through bars 50-63, silence through bars 64-65 and hi-hat through bars 66-86, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-22 -- 11% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

170 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.
62 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
