333 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 5:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-30, ride through bars 31-34, hi-hat through bars 35-42, ride through bars 43-46 and hi-hat through bars 47-71, and 24 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 166-168, 170-172 and 174-176, and 6 more places -- 15.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 88 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
