81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-10, toms through bars 11-17, hi-hat through bars 18-28, snare through bars 29-30, hi-hat through bars 31-37 and snare through bars 38-40, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-16, 21 and 24, and 6 more places -- 13% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.
