155 bars at 186 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bar 1, snare through bars 2-5, hi-hat through bars 6-9, snare through bars 10-13, hi-hat through bars 14-17 and snare through bars 18-25, and 18 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-3, 6-8 and 10-11, and 5 more places -- 12.9% 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 59 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.
186 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.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 60 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
155 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 20 sittings, about 23 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.
