147 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 96 BPM, 5:17 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
toms through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, snare through bars 18-22, silence through bars 23-25, hi-hat through bars 26-53 and snare through bars 54-73, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-32, 42-49 and 86-92, and 1 more place -- 25.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

96 BPM, in 3/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
