170 bars at 206 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-32, ride through bars 33-39, hi-hat through bars 40-72, snare through bars 73-80 and ride through bars 81-87, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 21-23, and 16 more places -- 34.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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.
206 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
70 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
170 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
