249 bars at 202 BPM -- fast, and 4:57 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, ride through bars 2-17, hi-hat through bars 18-35, ride through bars 36-46, hi-hat through bars 47-75 and ride through bars 76-83, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 20-34, 48-56 and 58, and 4 more places -- 23.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

202 BPM, in 4/4, 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.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
