164 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 3:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-27, ride through bars 28-41, toms through bars 42-43, ride through bars 44-57 and hi-hat through bars 58-79, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2, 4 and 6, and 18 more places -- 22% 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 42 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.

200 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.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
164 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 15 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.
