134 bars at 208 BPM -- fast, and 3:50 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-8, ride through bars 9-12, hi-hat through bars 13-24, ride through bars 25-52 and hi-hat through bars 53-60, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 63, 66 and 69, and 1 more place -- 13.3% 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 18 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.

208 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 75 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
