165 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:08 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
kick and crashes through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-11, kick and crashes through bars 12-20, hi-hat through bars 21-65, toms through bars 66-81 and snare through bars 82-89, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-28, 30-36 and 44-50, and 3 more places -- 26.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 29 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 sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
28 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
165 bars, about 4:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, 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.
