167 bars at 164 BPM -- fast, and 4:04 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-14, silence through bars 15-17, ride through bars 18-22, silence through bars 23-29 and ride through bars 30-33, and 24 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 96-98 and 100-107 -- 7.4% 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 77 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.

85 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 74 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
167 bars, about 4:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 29 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
