98 bars of 4/4 at 130 BPM, about 3:42 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-3, toms through bars 4-6, hi-hat through bars 7-8, kick and crashes through bars 9-11, hi-hat through bars 12-23 and ride through bars 24-27, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21-23 and 28-30, and 5 more places -- 30.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
