175 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 3:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-12, snare through bars 13-14, hi-hat through bars 15-32, snare through bars 33-36, hi-hat through bars 37-48 and ride through bars 49-50, and 24 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 67-72, 77-82 and 87-92, and 2 more places -- 17% 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 79 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.
186 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.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
175 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 79 exercises over 30 sittings, about 24 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.
