278 bars at 250 BPM -- fast, and 4:21 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 how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-30, ride through bars 31-38, snare through bars 39-60, hi-hat through bars 61-68 and ride through bars 69-85, and 26 more changes after that.
