164 bars at 211 BPM -- fast, and 3:07 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.
ride through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-8, ride through bars 9-12, hi-hat through bars 13-40, ride through bars 41-42 and hi-hat through bars 43-48, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 35-40, 43-48 and 51-56, and 5 more places -- 29.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

211 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 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
