106 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 2:28 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-15, toms through bars 16-17, ride through bars 18-28, hi-hat through bars 29-32 and snare through bars 33-47, and 9 more changes after that.
