100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-20, snare through bars 21-22, ride through bars 23-24, hi-hat through bars 25-28 and snare through bars 29-32, and 6 more changes after that.

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 98 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
