147 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:26 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
kick and crashes through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-12, silence through bars 13-16, hi-hat through bars 17-18, silence through bars 19-30 and hi-hat through bars 31-46, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-39, 65-71 and 108-114 -- 23.1% 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 30 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.
170 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.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
147 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 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.
