178 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:45 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.
toms through bar 1, kick and crashes through bars 2-9, ride through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-33, ride through bars 34-44 and snare through bars 45-47, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-24, 26-28 and 30-32, and 7 more places -- 31.1% 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
