157 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 3:30 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
55 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 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-32, snare through bars 33-38, toms through bars 39-40, snare through bars 41-54 and ride through bars 55-56, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-13, 17-31 and 57-61, and 1 more place -- 28.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 17 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.
180 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.
55 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 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
157 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
