126 bars at 197 BPM -- fast, and 2:34 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-58, ride through bars 59-72, hi-hat through bars 73-74, snare through bars 75-76, hi-hat through bars 77-94 and ride through bars 95-110, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 9-15 and 34-40, and 1 more place -- 22.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

197 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
