149 bars at 171 BPM -- fast, and 3:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-13, snare through bars 14-29, hi-hat through bars 30-42, ride through bars 43-44, snare through bars 45-51 and ride through bars 52-56, and 15 more changes after that.
