142 bars, about 4:05 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.

10 fills to learn, played 24 times: bars 5, 9, 17, 21, 37, 41 and 18 more.
