103 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 176 BPM, 2:00 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-19, ride through bars 20-23, silence through bars 24-27, kick and crashes through bars 28-32, hi-hat through bars 33-40 and ride through bars 41-43, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 48-50, 52-54 and 80-82, and 1 more place -- 12% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

176 BPM, in 3/4, 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 90 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
