149 bars at 188 BPM -- fast, and 3:07 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-3, snare through bars 4-13, toms through bars 14-17, hi-hat through bars 18-24, snare through bars 25-33 and toms through bars 34-37, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 80-86, 88-94 and 104-110, and 1 more place -- 16% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

188 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.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
