208 bars of 4/4 at 128 BPM, about 6:28 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-30, snare through bars 31-32, ride through bars 33-40, snare through bars 41-68 and ride through bars 69-97, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-34, 36-38 and 69-70, and 8 more places -- 13.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
