188 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-16, ride through bars 17-41, hi-hat through bars 42-50, ride through bars 51-57 and hi-hat through bars 58-66, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-23, 25-31 and 51-57, and 5 more places -- 30.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
200 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 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
