181 bars at 209 BPM -- fast, and 3:13 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.
silence through bars 1-6, snare through bars 7-20, hi-hat through bars 21-101, silence through bars 102-104, toms through bars 105-110 and snare through bars 111-112, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29, 31 and 41, and 6 more places -- 5.4% 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 65 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.
209 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 88 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
181 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 65 exercises over 27 sittings, about 25 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.
