155 bars of 4/4 at 150 BPM, about 4:08 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
81 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-9, snare through bars 10-22, hi-hat through bars 23-42, silence through bars 43-46 and ride through bars 47-50, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-17, 51-58 and 67-69, and 6 more places -- 34.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.
