64 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 2:05 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-10, ride through bars 11-14, hi-hat through bars 15-18, snare through bars 19-22 and ride through bars 23-26, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-5, 7-9 and 15-17, and 3 more places -- 28.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

120 BPM, in 4/4, 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.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
