228 bars at 205 BPM -- fast, and 4:28 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bar 1, toms through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-76, snare through bars 77-80, hi-hat through bars 81-82 and toms through bars 83-84, and 26 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 37-42, 45-52 and 69-72, and 5 more places -- 21.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
