291 bars at 188 BPM -- fast, and 6:11 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.
kick and crashes through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-86, ride through bars 87-90, snare through bars 91-92, ride through bars 93-98 and snare through bars 99-106, and 24 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10, 14 and 16, and 25 more places -- 13.8% 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
