110 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 2:27 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 1-18, silence through bars 19-21, toms through bars 22-25, hi-hat through bars 26-33, ride through bars 34-41 and snare through bars 42-68, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 79, 83 and 86-91, and 2 more places -- 12.6% 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
