195 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 4:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-4, toms through bars 5-7, kick and crashes through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-29 and snare through bars 30-31, and 22 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-18, 20-24 and 26-28, and 10 more places -- 31.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

157 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.
85 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.
