147 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 2:41 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 2-13, snare through bars 14-15, hi-hat through bars 16-32, snare through bars 33-34, hi-hat through bars 35-46 and ride through bars 47-53, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 11-13, 16-18 and 30-31, and 7 more places -- 20.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
