153 bars at 218 BPM -- fast, and 2:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-10, hi-hat through bars 11-26, ride through bars 27-42, hi-hat through bars 43-58 and ride through bars 59-66, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-17, 19-25 and 43-49, and 13 more places -- 31.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 48 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.
218 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 83 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
153 bars, about 2:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 18 sittings, about 27 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.
