131 bars at 233 BPM -- fast, and 2:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bar 1, kick and crashes through bars 2-32, hi-hat through bars 33-39, kick and crashes through bars 40-48, hi-hat through bars 49-70 and kick and crashes through bars 71-83, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4, 33-35 and 37-39, and 4 more places -- 15.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

233 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.
81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
