78 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 1:56 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, snare through bars 2-11, toms through bars 12-13, snare through bars 14-25, hi-hat through bars 26-29 and snare through bars 30-45, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-9 -- 10.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 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 how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
78 bars, about 1:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 10 sittings, about 29 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
