211 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 4:54 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
36 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bars 3-48, snare through bars 49-50, hi-hat through bars 51-107, silence through bars 108-114, hi-hat through bars 115-122 and ride through bars 123-130, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 51-53, 55-57 and 59-61, and 14 more places -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

172 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.
36 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
