220 bars at 185 BPM -- fast, and 4:45 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-18, hi-hat through bars 19-20, toms through bars 21-22, hi-hat through bars 23-24 and snare through bars 25-26, and 40 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 19-20, 23-24 and 27-30, and 11 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

185 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.
82 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
220 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 16 sittings, about 27 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.
