87 bars of 4/4 at a walking 90 BPM, 3:40 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bar 1, ride through bars 2-5, hi-hat through bars 6-10, ride through bars 11-20, hi-hat through bars 21-24 and ride through bars 25-51, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-20, 31-33 and 35-37, and 7 more places -- 26.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

90 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.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 73 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
