85 bars at 184 BPM -- fast, and 1:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.

ride through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-14, snare through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-18, snare through bars 19-20 and ride through bars 21-36, and 12 more changes after that.

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 29-31, and 5 more places -- 29.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 21 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.
