214 bars at 167 BPM -- fast, and 5:06 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-32, hi-hat through bars 33-40, ride through bars 41-56, snare through bars 57-80 and silence through bars 81-87, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-35, 37-38 and 57-61, and 9 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.

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
