79 bars of 4/4 at 110 BPM, about 3:34 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-6, toms through bars 7-9, ride through bars 10-11, toms through bars 12-15 and snare through bars 16-17, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 48-63 -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 22 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.
110 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
79 bars, about 3:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
