130 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:04 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-34, snare through bars 35-36, toms through bars 37-40 and snare through bars 41-56, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-3, 5-11 and 13-19, and 3 more places -- 23.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
