98 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 2:23 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-8, hi-hat through bars 9-27, snare through bars 28-31, hi-hat through bars 32-50 and snare through bars 51-98.
