129 bars of 4/4 at 135 BPM, about 3:47 of playing, 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.
snare through bars 1-11, hi-hat through bars 12-19, ride through bars 20-23, snare through bars 24-41, ride through bars 42-43 and hi-hat through bars 44-46, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 32-33, 36-37 and 78-79, and 1 more place -- 6.3% 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 55 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.
135 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
89 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 85 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
129 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 18 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.
