68 bars at 188 BPM -- fast, and 1:27 of it without a break -- on crash, 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.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 13 and 15, and 9 more places -- 17.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 93 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
