123 bars at 163 BPM -- fast, and 3:00 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, ride through bars 18-25, hi-hat through bars 26-58, ride through bars 59-66 and hi-hat through bars 67-78, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-16, 34-36 and 38-39, and 3 more places -- 17.9% 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 42 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.
163 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.
71 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
123 bars, about 3:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 14 sittings, about 23 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.
