269 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 6:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
snare through bar 1, toms through bars 2-8, snare through bars 9-10, toms through bars 11-19, snare through bars 20-23 and hi-hat through bars 24-81, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 58, 62 and 67, and 16 more places -- 9.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
