130 bars at 230 BPM -- fast, and 2:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-16, snare through bars 17-32, hi-hat through bars 33-36, ride through bars 37-40 and hi-hat through bars 41-44, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-55, 57-63 and 105-111, and 1 more place -- 21.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

230 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
130 bars, about 2:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 13 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.
