64 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 1:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

hi-hat through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-18, ride through bars 19-26, hi-hat through bars 27-42, kick and crashes through bars 43-44 and toms through bars 45-46, and 2 more changes after that.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 27-33 and 47-53 -- 32.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
