185 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 4:46 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
62 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 1-28, hi-hat through bars 29-34, snare through bars 35-42, hi-hat through bars 43-58, kick and crashes through bars 59-76 and hi-hat through bars 77-100, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 29-34, 43-58 and 77-80, and 1 more place -- 20.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

155 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.
62 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
185 bars, about 4:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 15 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
