166 bars of 5/4 -- not four -- at 215 BPM, 3:45 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-7, ride through bars 8-11, snare through bars 12-15, ride through bars 16-19, snare through bars 20-41 and ride through bars 42-50, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 12-14, 20-22 and 55, and 3 more places -- 9.2% 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 57 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.
215 BPM, in 5/4, 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.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
166 bars, about 3:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 22 sittings, about 22 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.
