200 bars at 207 BPM -- fast, and 3:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-15, ride through bars 16-17, hi-hat through bars 18-30, toms through bars 31-32 and ride through bars 33-38, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 44, 46 and 48, and 13 more places -- 15.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

207 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.
91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
