121 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 2:20 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bars 1-3, kick and crashes through bars 4-9, ride through bars 10-25, hi-hat through bars 26-44, silence through bars 45-46 and ride through bars 47-55, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-25 -- 12.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
