128 bars of 4/4 at 117 BPM, about 4:23 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-9, ride through bars 10-32, toms through bars 33-49, hi-hat through bars 50-65 and toms through bars 66-67, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-33 -- 20.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
