161 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 120 BPM, 7:59 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-49, hi-hat through bars 50-77, ride through bars 78-80, snare through bars 81-109 and silence through bars 110-161.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-4, 6-7 and 10-12, and 3 more places -- 14% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
