216 bars at 164 BPM -- fast, and 5:16 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-46, toms through bars 47-48, ride through bars 49-64, hi-hat through bars 65-96, ride through bars 97-112 and snare through bars 113-120, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-55, 57-59 and 61-63, and 7 more places -- 16.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

164 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.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
