180 bars at 190 BPM -- fast, and 3:41 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-3, kick and crashes through bars 4-5, ride through bars 6-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, ride through bars 17-20 and hi-hat through bars 21-30, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 57-64, 81-86 and 161-167 -- 12.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

190 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.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 80 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
180 bars, about 3:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 72 exercises over 22 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
