203 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 4:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, toms through bars 9-10, hi-hat through bars 11-34, ride through bars 35-42, hi-hat through bars 43-57 and snare through bars 58-74, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-17, 19-21 and 23-25, and 9 more places -- 23% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
