197 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-40, ride through bars 41-53, hi-hat through bars 54-87, snare through bars 88-102 and silence through bars 103-105, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-15, 17-19 and 21-22, and 8 more places -- 15.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
