300 bars at 184 BPM -- fast, and 6:04 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-40, hi-hat through bars 41-57, snare through bars 58-65, toms through bars 66-82, snare through bars 83-114 and ride through bars 115-152, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-4, 6-9 and 11-14, and 20 more places -- 27.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

184 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.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 71 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
