86 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 3:47 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-31, ride through bars 32-34, hi-hat through bars 35-55 and ride through bars 56-58, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 38, and 7 more places -- 16.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
