157 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-7, hi-hat through bars 8-12, ride through bars 13-17, silence through bars 18-20 and ride through bars 21-24, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 29-30 and 67, and 6 more places -- 12.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
