125 bars of 4/4 at 140 BPM, about 3:34 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-24, hi-hat through bars 25-83, ride through bars 84-100, silence through bars 101-107 and toms through bars 108-125.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-24 and 108-123 -- 33.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
