87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-2, toms through bars 3-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-18, snare through bars 19-20 and hi-hat through bars 21-26, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 35-36, 39-40 and 51-58, and 7 more places -- 18.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

180 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.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
