165 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 2:52 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-5, toms through bars 6-9, ride through bars 10-18, hi-hat through bars 19-35, ride through bars 36-52 and hi-hat through bars 53-55, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-20, 23 and 28-29, and 4 more places -- 5.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
