188 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-50, ride through bars 51-58, hi-hat through bars 59-64, toms through bars 65-66, hi-hat through bars 67-90 and ride through bars 91-98, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 27-33, 43-49 and 59-62, and 6 more places -- 28% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

170 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 the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
