159 bars at 231 BPM -- fast, and 2:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-9, toms through bars 10-11, hi-hat through bars 12-17, toms through bars 18-21 and hi-hat through bars 22-31, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-9, 12-17 and 38-43, and 3 more places -- 26% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

231 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.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
