153 bars at 191 BPM -- fast, and 3:13 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-22, snare through bars 23-24, hi-hat through bars 25-91, kick and crashes through bars 92-93, silence through bars 94-100 and ride through bars 101-116, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 41-56 and 76-91 -- 24.1% 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 26 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.
191 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.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
153 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
