104 bars, about 5:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.

7 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 12, 16, 24, 28, 46, 54 and 7 more.
