87 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 200 BPM, 2:27 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-6, ride through bars 7-14, hi-hat through bars 15-22, ride through bars 23-30, hi-hat through bars 31-37 and ride through bars 38-46, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15-21, 55-57 and 59-61 -- 22.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
