100 bars at 237 BPM -- fast, and 1:41 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
snare through bar 1, toms through bars 2-5, silence through bars 6-12, hi-hat through bars 13-63, snare through bars 64-71 and kick and crashes through bars 72-75, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-28, 31 and 45-47, and 3 more places -- 18.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

237 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.
95 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 87 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
100 bars, about 1:41 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 17 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
