158 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:06 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-8, hi-hat through bars 9-32, ride through bars 33-36, kick and crashes through bars 37-40 and ride through bars 41-44, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 95-100 and 102-108 -- 8.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

200 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.
96 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
158 bars, about 3:06 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 25 sittings, about 24 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.
