179 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 2:59 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
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, snare through bars 3-9, ride through bars 10-14, snare through bars 15-17, ride through bars 18-20 and hi-hat through bars 21-29, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 74-76, 78-84 and 97, and 3 more places -- 9.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
