121 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:01 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-7, kick and crashes through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-13, ride through bars 14-19, hi-hat through bars 20-34 and kick and crashes through bars 35-38, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-40, 43-44 and 90-91, and 1 more place -- 7.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

165 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.
84 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 70 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
121 bars, about 3:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 52 exercises over 16 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
