210 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:39 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-7, toms through bars 8-19, ride through bars 20-25, toms through bars 26-43 and hi-hat through bars 44-55, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 56-57, 59-61 and 63, and 10 more places -- 14.6% 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.
180 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
210 bars, about 4:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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.
