151 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-18, toms through bars 19-20, ride through bars 21-48, hi-hat through bars 49-64, ride through bars 65-94 and snare through bars 95-96, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 51-55, 57-59 and 61-63, and 7 more places -- 24.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
53 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 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
151 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 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.
