151 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 160 BPM, 2:50 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 3-18, hi-hat through bars 19-35, silence through bars 36-38, hi-hat through bars 39-86, ride through bars 87-102 and hi-hat through bars 103-118, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-41, 43-45 and 47-52, and 4 more places -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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 3/4, 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
151 bars, about 2:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 49 exercises over 17 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.
