110 bars at 195 BPM -- fast, and 2:13 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-32, kick and crashes through bars 33-36, hi-hat through bars 37-76, toms through bars 77-78, hi-hat through bars 79-94 and kick and crashes through bars 95-99, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 37-39, 41-43 and 45-47, and 7 more places -- 27.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 35 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.
195 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.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 92 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
110 bars, about 2:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
