99 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 194 BPM, 2:28 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-38, ride through bars 39-40, hi-hat through bars 41-71, ride through bars 72-76 and hi-hat through bars 77-79, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 22-24 and 77-78 -- 10.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

194 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 96 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
