138 bars at 163 BPM -- fast, and 3:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 2-18, hi-hat through bars 19-22, snare through bars 23-47, silence through bars 48-67, snare through bars 68-72 and toms through bars 73-75, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-8, 19-20 and 32-38, and 1 more place -- 15.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
