170 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-17, toms through bars 18-19, hi-hat through bars 20-33, ride through bars 34-38, snare through bars 39-42 and hi-hat through bars 43-61, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-6, 30-31 and 85-87, and 3 more places -- 13.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

155 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
