126 bars at 172 BPM -- fast, and 2:38 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-39, toms through bars 40-41, hi-hat through bars 42-52, toms through bars 53-71 and hi-hat through bars 72-113, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 16-21, 25-29 and 48, and 9 more places -- 26% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 34 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.

172 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.
66 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 56 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
126 bars, about 2:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, 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.
