190 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 3:44 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.

70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.

The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-10, 13-14 and 80-81, and 5 more places -- 9.5% 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 70 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.
