117 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 2:39 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, toms through bars 6-17, hi-hat through bars 18-39, ride through bars 40-43 and hi-hat through bars 44-57, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-30, 34 and 36-39, and 9 more places -- 29.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
