88 bars at 159 BPM -- fast, and 2:12 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
silence through bars 1-3, snare through bars 4-5, hi-hat through bars 6-12, snare through bars 13-31, hi-hat through bars 32-39 and snare through bars 40-47, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-8, 10-12 and 57, and 3 more places -- 12.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

159 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 67 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
