101 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 3:35 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-11, hi-hat through bars 12-15, ride through bars 16-19, hi-hat through bars 20-23 and ride through bars 24-27, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-30, 32-34 and 45-46, and 4 more places -- 19.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
