289 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 4:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-89, ride through bars 90-106, hi-hat through bars 107-110, ride through bars 111-114 and hi-hat through bars 115-126, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-8, 10-16 and 26-31, and 16 more places -- 25.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
