158 bars at 162 BPM -- fast, and 3:54 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-55, kick and crashes through bars 56-60, silence through bars 61-62, toms through bars 63-64 and hi-hat through bars 65-142, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 65-67, 69-81 and 85-91, and 3 more places -- 27.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
