190 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 4:06 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-14, snare through bars 15-18, hi-hat through bars 19-20 and snare through bars 21-24, and 22 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-12, 15-17 and 21-24, and 11 more places -- 25.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 48 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.
185 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.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
190 bars, about 4:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 15 sittings, about 27 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.
