199 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-32, hi-hat through bars 33-40, ride through bars 41-48, hi-hat through bars 49-64 and ride through bars 65-72, and 17 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 57-63, 73-80 and 145-151, and 1 more place -- 15.1% 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 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.
100 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.
199 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 22 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
