121 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 2:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
55 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 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-12, snare through bars 13-19, hi-hat through bars 20-28, snare through bars 29-35 and hi-hat through bars 36-38, and 13 more changes after that.
