223 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 3:43 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 bars 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-16, ride through bars 17-20, hi-hat through bars 21-24, ride through bars 25-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-40, and 21 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 65-71, 73-79 and 97-99, and 3 more places -- 11.7% 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 73 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.

240 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 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
223 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 73 exercises over 27 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
