131 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 2:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-19, ride through bars 20-23, hi-hat through bars 24-38, ride through bars 39-48 and toms through bars 49-50, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-19, 24-38 and 116, and 4 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
230 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
