135 bars at 189 BPM -- fast, and 2:42 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bar 1, snare through bars 2-6, silence through bars 7-9, toms through bars 10-13, hi-hat through bars 14-25 and snare through bars 26-49, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 91-97 and 99-104 -- 9.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
