151 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-9, toms through bars 10-12, snare through bars 13-26, kick and crashes through bars 27-28, hi-hat through bars 29-38 and toms through bars 39-40, and 19 more changes after that.
