74 bars, about 4:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 12 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

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.

How many fills are in What A Beautiful Name?

6 fills to learn, played 9 times: bars 45, 46, 54, 58, 61, 62 and 3 more.
