92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-33, hi-hat through bars 34-63, ride through bars 64-80, hi-hat through bars 81-120, ride through bars 121-135 and snare through bars 136-169, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 138, 140-142 and 144-146, and 11 more places -- 23.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
