262 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 5:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-8, silence through bars 9-12, toms through bars 13-16, hi-hat through bars 17-27 and toms through bars 28-36, and 28 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 169-174, 177-181 and 202-211, and 2 more places -- 12.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 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.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
