163 bars of 7/4 -- not four -- at 110 BPM, 7:11 of playing on crash, 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.
hi-hat through bars 1-31, snare through bars 32-46, hi-hat through bars 47-49, snare through bars 50-53, hi-hat through bars 54-68 and snare through bars 69-91, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 92-117 -- 21% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

110 BPM, in 7/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
