208 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 5:12 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-28, ride through bars 29-37, hi-hat through bars 38-41, ride through bars 42-44 and toms through bars 45-46, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-16, 65-67 and 69-71, and 7 more places -- 19.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 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.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
