177 bars at 174 BPM -- fast, and 3:55 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-63, snare through bars 64-80, hi-hat through bars 81-95, snare through bars 96-129 and silence through bars 130-132, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-23, 25-31 and 33-39, and 5 more places -- 31.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 30 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.

174 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.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 78 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
177 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 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.
