93 bars at 210 BPM -- fast, and 1:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
ride through bars 1-15, hi-hat through bars 16-32, ride through bars 33-35, hi-hat through bars 36-42, ride through bars 43-52 and hi-hat through bars 53-73, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 61, 64-70 and 72 -- 9.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

210 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.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 100 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
93 bars, about 1:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 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.
