82 bars of 8/4 -- not four -- at 189 BPM, 3:27 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
snare through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-6, snare through bars 7-10, hi-hat through bars 11-16, snare through bars 17-22 and hi-hat through bars 23-28, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-6, 14 and 26, and 1 more place -- 24.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

189 BPM, in 8/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
