145 bars of 4/4 at 135 BPM, about 4:18 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-15, toms through bars 16-32, hi-hat through bars 33-40, toms through bars 41-56, hi-hat through bars 57-65 and silence through bars 66-67, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 33-39, 57-63 and 129-136 -- 15.8% 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 57 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.
135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
