98 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 1:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-16, snare through bars 17-25, ride through bars 26-32, snare through bars 33-47 and toms through bars 48-49, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3-9, 11-15 and 27-32, and 3 more places -- 30.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 35 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. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
215 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 82 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
98 bars, about 1:51 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 11 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.
