180 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 2:56 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-6, snare through bars 7-8, hi-hat through bars 9-40, ride through bars 41-75, toms through bars 76-77 and ride through bars 78-93, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1, 3 and 11, and 27 more places -- 16.5% 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
