191 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-9, ride through bars 10-17, hi-hat through bars 18-33, toms through bars 34-36 and silence through bars 37-42, and 20 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-24, 26-33 and 75, and 3 more places -- 24.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
