171 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:48 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, hi-hat through bars 6-9, snare through bars 10-34, silence through bars 35-36 and hi-hat through bars 37-45, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 26-32 and 66, and 3 more places -- 18.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
