232 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 5:09 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-80, kick and crashes through bars 81-88, snare through bars 89-104, ride through bars 105-120, hi-hat through bars 121-136 and ride through bars 137-152, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33-47, 65-79 and 153-168, and 1 more place -- 26.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 40 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.
180 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.
86 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
232 bars, about 5:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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.
