142 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:24 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-16, hi-hat through bars 17-42, snare through bars 43-66, hi-hat through bars 67-87, ride through bars 88-92 and snare through bars 93-94, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-6 and 9-11, and 4 more places -- 12.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
