123 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:52 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, snare through bars 2-9, hi-hat through bars 10-26, ride through bars 27-28, hi-hat through bars 29-34 and snare through bars 35-45, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 46-48, 50-52 and 105-107, and 1 more place -- 9.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 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.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
123 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 21 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.
