89 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 2:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-6, toms through bars 7-8, snare through bars 9-37, silence through bars 38-40, toms through bars 41-42 and hi-hat through bars 43-50, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 43-50 and 63-70 -- 20.3% 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 33 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.
155 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.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 76 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
89 bars, about 2:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 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.
5 fills to learn, played 12 times: bars 2, 7, 8, 41, 42, 51 and 6 more.
