215 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 4:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-17, ride through bars 18-19, hi-hat through bars 20-56, snare through bars 57-60, hi-hat through bars 61-126 and silence through bars 127-129, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-13, 32 and 40, and 4 more places -- 14.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

195 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.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 81 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
