60 bars at 157 BPM -- fast, and 1:31 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-26, snare through bars 27-34, ride through bars 35-44, hi-hat through bars 45-52, snare through bars 53-54 and ride through bars 55-56, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-16 -- 26.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
60 bars, about 1:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
