214 bars at 257 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-28, ride through bars 29-32, hi-hat through bars 33-34, ride through bars 35-47 and hi-hat through bars 48-63, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 56-58, 60-63 and 66-67, and 7 more places -- 23.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

257 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.
99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
