120 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 2:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-16, ride through bars 17-24, snare through bars 25-40, ride through bars 41-56 and snare through bars 57-66, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-40, 53 and 55, and 8 more places -- 25.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

210 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
