136 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 1-33, ride through bars 34-35, hi-hat through bars 36-39, snare through bars 40-41, hi-hat through bars 42-47 and kick and crashes through bars 48-55, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-24, 26-31 and 66-72, and 2 more places -- 25.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

170 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
