217 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 5:16 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-15, snare through bars 16-24, hi-hat through bars 25-40, snare through bars 41-46, toms through bars 47-48 and snare through bars 49-72, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17, 19 and 21, and 41 more places -- 25.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
