192 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bar 1, silence through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-53, ride through bars 54-57, hi-hat through bars 58-61 and ride through bars 62-69, and 5 more changes after that.
