silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-18, toms through bars 19-20, hi-hat through bars 21-46, toms through bars 47-48 and hi-hat through bars 49-62, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 88-94, 96-98 and 100-101, and 5 more places -- 21.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
158 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
