128 bars at 178 BPM -- fast, and 2:53 of it without a break -- 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.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-28, ride through bars 29-34, toms through bars 35-36 and snare through bars 37-52, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-11, 37 and 39, and 8 more places -- 19.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
