104 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 2:31 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, ride through bars 6-59, kick and crashes through bars 60-61, ride through bars 62-84 and hi-hat through bars 85-93, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 10-12 and 14-16, and 18 more places -- 51% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
