177 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:33 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.

kick and crashes through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-6, silence through bars 7-9, ride through bars 10-18 and hi-hat through bars 19-64, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 36-38, 40-41 and 56-58, and 5 more places -- 13.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 68 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
177 bars, about 4:33 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
