165 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-44, ride through bars 45-56, hi-hat through bars 57-72, ride through bars 73-100, hi-hat through bars 101-116 and ride through bars 117-128, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 45-56, 73-84 and 117-128 -- 21.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

200 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
