183 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 4:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-17, silence through bars 18-20, hi-hat through bars 21-32, ride through bars 33-36, hi-hat through bars 37-40 and ride through bars 41-44, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 45-47, and 5 more places -- 13.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

170 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.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

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