128 bars at 236 BPM -- fast, and 2:10 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 2-37, ride through bars 38-47, toms through bars 48-53, hi-hat through bars 54-87, ride through bars 88-97 and toms through bars 98-103, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 54-60, 63-69 and 104-110, and 2 more places -- 27.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 23 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.

236 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
128 bars, about 2:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 8 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.
