135 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:16 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-3, toms through bars 4-5, snare through bars 6-17, ride through bars 18-29, hi-hat through bars 30-46 and ride through bars 47-58, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-29, 47-58 and 128-139 -- 26.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

160 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.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
135 bars, about 3:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
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.
