244 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 5:42 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-8, hi-hat through bars 9-14, ride through bars 15-22, toms through bars 23-24 and hi-hat through bars 25-44, and 31 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 13 and 54-55, and 10 more places -- 18% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
