169 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 3:39 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-8, hi-hat through bars 9-24, ride through bars 25-28, snare through bars 29-32 and hi-hat through bars 33-56, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 11 and 13, and 33 more places -- 27% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
