107 bars at 212 BPM -- fast, and 2:01 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, silence through bars 5-25, toms through bars 26-34, hi-hat through bars 35-39, snare through bars 40-54 and silence through bars 55-59, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61-62, 65-69 and 78-79, and 1 more place -- 14.7% 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 34 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.
212 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.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
107 bars, about 2:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 13 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.
