131 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-27, snare through bars 28-29, hi-hat through bars 30-31, snare through bars 32-33, hi-hat through bars 34-35 and snare through bars 36-37, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-4, 6-7 and 10-12, and 9 more places -- 26% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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.
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.
54 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
131 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
