104 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:36 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
hi-hat through bars 1-5, ride through bars 6-9, toms through bars 10-13, ride through bars 14-19, snare through bars 20-22 and hi-hat through bars 23-69, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4, 25-26 and 30, and 5 more places -- 16.3% 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 38 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.
160 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.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
104 bars, about 2:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 38 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 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.
