130 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 2:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, snare through bars 25-32, hi-hat through bars 33-36 and snare through bars 37-56, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33, 35 and 57, and 5 more places -- 14.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

190 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.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
130 bars, about 2:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 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.
