386 bars at 261 BPM -- fast, and 6:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-6, toms through bars 7-9, hi-hat through bars 10-14, toms through bars 15-16 and hi-hat through bars 17-20, and 32 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-3, 10-11 and 17-20, and 28 more places -- 28.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 78 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.
261 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.
94 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 84 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
386 bars, about 6:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 78 exercises over 30 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.
