168 bars at 196 BPM -- fast, and 3:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-39, silence through bars 40-41, hi-hat through bars 42-53, ride through bars 54-59 and hi-hat through bars 60-62, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 23-24, 27-28 and 32-33, and 3 more places -- 7.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

196 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 94 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
