285 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 6:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-44, toms through bars 45-71, silence through bars 72-104, kick and crashes through bars 105-110 and hi-hat through bars 111-195, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 46-48, 50-52 and 54-56, and 5 more places -- 8.4% 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 85 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.
165 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.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
285 bars, about 6:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 85 exercises over 28 sittings, about 25 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.
