68 bars of 4/4 at a walking 106 BPM, 2:34 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-8, hi-hat through bars 9-10, ride through bars 11-16, hi-hat through bars 17-48 and ride through bars 49-56, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-28 and 33-40 -- 23.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

106 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
