229 bars at 224 BPM -- fast, and 3:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-9, silence through bars 10-12, ride through bars 13-20, hi-hat through bars 21-24, ride through bars 25-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-37, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-7, 13-15 and 17, and 15 more places -- 20.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

224 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.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
