252 bars at 207 BPM -- fast, and 4:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-14, ride through bars 15-53, hi-hat through bars 54-72, ride through bars 73-94 and toms through bars 95-103, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 74-93 and 216-235 -- 16.2% 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 63 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.
207 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 94 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
252 bars, about 4:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 28 sittings, about 24 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.
