147 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:28 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 3-4, hi-hat through bars 5-16, snare through bars 17-24, hi-hat through bars 25-30, snare through bars 31-32 and hi-hat through bars 33-40, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-24, 31-32 and 39, and 6 more places -- 33.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
