153 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:42 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-18, snare through bars 19-33, hi-hat through bars 34-51, snare through bars 52-54 and hi-hat through bars 55-70, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-15, 40 and 42-48, and 15 more places -- 31.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

165 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.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
