112 bars at 229 BPM -- fast, and 1:44 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 how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-6, snare through bars 7-10, kick and crashes through bars 11-13, hi-hat through bars 14-16 and ride through bars 17-22, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 99-103 and 105-107 -- 7.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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.
229 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.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
112 bars, about 1:44 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 16 sittings, about 24 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.
