103 bars at 175 BPM -- fast, and 2:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-7, snare through bars 8-9, toms through bars 10-11, kick and crashes through bars 12-13, hi-hat through bars 14-21 and snare through bars 22-25, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1, 3 and 65, and 3 more places -- 5.9% 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 45 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.

175 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.
97 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
103 bars, about 2:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 21 sittings, about 23 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.
