214 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 4:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-20, ride through bars 21-22, hi-hat through bars 23-38, ride through bars 39-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-42, and 21 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-16, 47-53 and 55-60, and 5 more places -- 24.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
