160 bars at 305 BPM -- fast, and 2:06 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-3, toms through bars 4-6, silence through bars 7-8, toms through bars 9-10, hi-hat through bars 11-22 and ride through bars 23-24, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 35, 37-40 and 43-45, and 5 more places -- 13.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 57 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.
305 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
90 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.
160 bars, about 2:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
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.
