134 bars of 4/4 at 112 BPM, about 4:47 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat.
snare through bars 1-3, ride through bars 4-7, hi-hat through bars 8-66, ride through bars 67-81, hi-hat through bars 82-90 and ride through bars 91-102, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-18, 20-21 and 50-53, and 1 more place -- 10% 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 43 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.
112 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.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
134 bars, about 4:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 20 sittings, about 23 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.
