154 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 3:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-20, snare through bars 21-28, hi-hat through bars 29-46 and ride through bars 47-52, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 62-69, and 7 more places -- 25.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
