74 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 1:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-12, ride through bars 13-19, hi-hat through bars 20-35, ride through bars 36-44, hi-hat through bars 45-47 and silence through bars 48-50, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-15, 17-19 and 59-61, and 1 more place -- 16.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 32 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. 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.
160 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.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
74 bars, about 1:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 14 sittings, about 23 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.
