78 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 1:43 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-14, snare through bars 15-30, kick and crashes through bars 31-34, hi-hat through bars 35-38 and toms through bars 39-41, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-5, 7 and 9-10, and 7 more places -- 30.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
180 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.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 89 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
