225 bars at 380 BPM -- fast, and 2:21 of it without a break -- 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.
silence through bars 1-24, hi-hat through bars 25-30, snare through bars 31-32, hi-hat through bars 33-54, kick and crashes through bars 55-57 and hi-hat through bars 58-69, and 23 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 137-139, 141-142 and 177-179, and 2 more places -- 6.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

380 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.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
225 bars, about 2:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 81 exercises over 30 sittings, about 25 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.
