126 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 2:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 3-10, hi-hat through bars 11-18, snare through bars 19-27, silence through bars 28-30, ride through bars 31-39 and snare through bars 40-48, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-25 -- 13.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
126 bars, about 2:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
