172 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 2-9, snare through bars 10-85, ride through bars 86-98, snare through bars 99-108, ride through bars 109-127 and snare through bars 128-148, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 36-42, 44-45 and 74-80, and 8 more places -- 28.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
