215 bars at 260 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, hi-hat through bars 6-20, snare through bars 21-29, hi-hat through bars 30-37 and snare through bars 38-53, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-12, 30-34 and 70-74, and 3 more places -- 11.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

260 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.
76 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
