193 bars at 181 BPM -- fast, and 4:16 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 3-49, hi-hat through bars 50-52, ride through bars 53-60, hi-hat through bars 61-76, ride through bars 77-85 and snare through bars 86-93, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-9, 15-21 and 27-33, and 13 more places -- 26.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
