207 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 3:44 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.
hi-hat through bar 1, ride through bars 2-5, hi-hat through bars 6-9, ride through bars 10-13, hi-hat through bars 14-17 and ride through bars 18-25, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 68-70, 72-74 and 77-82, and 1 more place -- 9.2% 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 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
