85 bars of 4/4 at 123 BPM, about 2:40 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-45, toms through bars 46-50, silence through bars 51-52, toms through bars 53-61 and hi-hat through bars 62-73, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-6, 8-10 and 21, and 8 more places -- 26.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
