91 bars of 4/4 at a walking 96 BPM, 3:48 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-8, toms through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-20, snare through bars 21-24, hi-hat through bars 25-32 and toms through bars 33-36, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-24, 37-43 and 45, and 3 more places -- 30% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

96 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
