81 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 1:47 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 3-20, toms through bars 21-24, hi-hat through bars 25-44, toms through bars 45-48, hi-hat through bars 49-68 and toms through bars 69-72, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-11, 13-19 and 29-35, and 4 more places -- 58.8% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

180 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.
99 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
81 bars, about 1:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 11 exercises over 6 sittings, about 21 minutes each.
crash, 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.
