150 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 2:47 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-2, hi-hat through bars 3-41, snare through bars 42-51, hi-hat through bars 52-58, snare through bars 59-68 and hi-hat through bars 69-92, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-25, 27-34 and 89-92, and 1 more place -- 13.4% 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 63 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.
215 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.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
150 bars, about 2:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 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.
18 fills to learn, played 31 times: bars 10, 26, 35, 36, 40, 41 and 25 more.
