156 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:33 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bar 1, toms through bars 2-9, hi-hat through bars 10-13, ride through bars 14-15, hi-hat through bars 16-40 and toms through bars 41-43, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 16 and 19-21, and 3 more places -- 13.8% 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 76 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.
180 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.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
156 bars, about 3:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 76 exercises over 24 sittings, about 26 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.
