240 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 5:15 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-21, hi-hat through bars 22-29, kick and crashes through bars 30-31, hi-hat through bars 32-37, toms through bars 38-41 and hi-hat through bars 42-61, and 22 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 51-62, 66-77 and 104-115, and 4 more places -- 27.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 59 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.
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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
240 bars, about 5:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 19 sittings, about 25 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.
