190 bars at 179 BPM -- fast, and 4:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-16, hi-hat through bars 17-85, snare through bars 86-96, ride through bars 97-98, toms through bars 99-101 and hi-hat through bars 102-149, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 30-32, 34-36 and 46-48, and 5 more places -- 11.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
