110 bars at 207 BPM -- fast, and 2:07 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
96 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 5-22, ride through bars 23-26, hi-hat through bars 27-31, snare through bars 32-39 and ride through bars 40-48, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-31, 35-38 and 49-51, and 2 more places -- 14.5% 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.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 91 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
