128 bars at 240 BPM -- fast, and 2:08 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
75 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how many notes a second it asks for.
kick and crashes through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-60 and snare through bars 61-128.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 21-27, and 3 more places -- 21.9% 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 40 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.
240 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 how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
128 bars, about 2:08 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 13 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
