270 bars at 225 BPM -- fast, and 4:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-10, ride through bars 11-12, hi-hat through bars 13-36, snare through bars 37-40, hi-hat through bars 41-55 and ride through bars 56-62, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-10, 13 and 41-42, and 21 more places -- 24.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

225 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.
98 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
