176 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 3:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-23, ride through bars 24-25, hi-hat through bars 26-27, ride through bars 28-29 and hi-hat through bars 30-31, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-23, 26-27 and 30-31, and 9 more places -- 10.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
