91 bars at 163 BPM -- fast, and 2:34 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-8, ride through bars 9-11, hi-hat through bars 12-20, silence through bars 21-30 and hi-hat through bars 31-32, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 12, 20 and 32, and 3 more places -- 18.2% 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 18 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.
163 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.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
91 bars, about 2:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 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.
