228 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 4:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-21, silence through bars 22-25, toms through bars 26-37, hi-hat through bars 38-40, toms through bars 41-62 and hi-hat through bars 63-80, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-20 and 156-174 -- 17.4% 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 53 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.
190 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.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
228 bars, about 4:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 53 exercises over 17 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.
