133 bars of 4/4 at 116 BPM, about 4:35 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-2, ride through bars 3-6, hi-hat through bars 7-65, ride through bars 66-80, hi-hat through bars 81-89 and ride through bars 90-101, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 16-17, 19-20 and 49-52, and 1 more place -- 10.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

116 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
87 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 63 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
133 bars, about 4:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 57 exercises over 22 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
