196 bars at 226 BPM -- fast, and 3:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-146, ride through bars 147-152, hi-hat through bars 153-170, ride through bars 171-175 and silence through bars 176-179, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 13-15 and 17-19, and 14 more places -- 34% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

226 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
