116 bars of 4/4 at 144 BPM, about 3:13 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-32, snare through bars 33-36, hi-hat through bars 37-40, snare through bars 41-44, hi-hat through bars 45-104 and snare through bars 105-108, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13-28 and 85-100 -- 27.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 31 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.

144 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
93 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
116 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 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.
