100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-12, toms through bars 13-14, hi-hat through bars 15-20, toms through bars 21-22 and hi-hat through bars 23-28, and 20 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-9, 11-12 and 15-17, and 3 more places -- 9.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

202 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
