90 bars of 4/4 at 130 BPM, about 2:45 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
92 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-17, ride through bars 18-22, hi-hat through bars 23-25, snare through bars 26-29 and ride through bars 30-31, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2, 10-11 and 14, and 4 more places -- 16.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

130 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
