193 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, snare through bars 2-15, hi-hat through bars 16-34, snare through bars 35-45, toms through bars 46-47 and hi-hat through bars 48-56, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 24-26, 28-30 and 45, and 8 more places -- 8.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
