What BPM is Disillusion In A Discordant System?

180 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.

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 94 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
