It is played on hi-hat and snare, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 19 out of 100 -- straightforward -- and the thing that decides that is the speed of the hand keeping time.
The whole song is 37 out of 100, so the beat is not the hard part: what costs you is everything around it, the joins and the fills.

Tempo goes 128, 149 and 170 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
