87 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 2:05 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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 1-2, toms through bars 3-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-7, silence through bars 8-13, toms through bars 14-17 and snare through bars 18-72, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 28-30 and 33, and 12 more places -- 28.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 19 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
165 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.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
87 bars, about 2:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 8 sittings, about 23 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
