138 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-8, hi-hat through bars 9-14, snare through bars 15-18, hi-hat through bars 19-30 and toms through bars 31-32, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-45 and 83-85 -- 7.3% 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 58 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.

170 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.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
138 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 58 exercises over 23 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.
