298 bars at 220 BPM -- fast, and 5:37 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
100 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-18, ride through bars 19-34, hi-hat through bars 35-248, ride through bars 249-250, hi-hat through bars 251-256 and ride through bars 257-258, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 112-118, 120-134 and 153-155, and 4 more places -- 17.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

220 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 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
298 bars, about 5:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 24 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.
