66 bars of 4/4 at 140 BPM, about 1:53 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

kick and crashes through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-8, ride through bars 9-15, hi-hat through bars 16-17, ride through bars 18-20 and hi-hat through bars 21-30, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 22-24 and 56-58 -- 9.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
