100 bars at 251 BPM -- fast, and 1:35 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-10, ride through bars 11-14, hi-hat through bars 15-18, ride through bars 19-30 and hi-hat through bars 31-34, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-13, 19-21 and 23-29, and 8 more places -- 35.1% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 26 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.
251 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.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
100 bars, about 1:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 8 sittings, about 27 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.
