62 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 1:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-32, toms through bars 33-45, kick and crashes through bars 46-50, hi-hat through bars 51-54 and toms through bars 55-62.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 17-18, and 3 more places -- 21.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

55 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
