233 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 5:11 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, snare through bars 6-7, toms through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-29 and ride through bars 30-44, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 46-60, 86-88 and 90-91, and 7 more places -- 23.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 BPM, in 4/4, 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.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
