141 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 3:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit.
hi-hat through bars 1-44, ride through bars 45-52, toms through bars 53-56, hi-hat through bars 57-84, ride through bars 85-100 and hi-hat through bars 101-116, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 45-47, 49-51 and 85-87, and 9 more places -- 22.7% 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 32 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.
168 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.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how often it moves around the kit. The beat itself is 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
141 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 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.
7 fills to learn, played 13 times: bars 32, 43, 44, 53, 54, 72 and 7 more.
