84 bars at 182 BPM -- fast, and 1:51 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.

61 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 1-9, toms through bars 10-17, ride through bars 18-25, hi-hat through bars 26-49, toms through bars 50-59 and hi-hat through bars 60-75, and 1 more change after that.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-17 and 50-59 -- 24% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

1 fill to learn, played 2 times: bars 63 and 75.

It cuts the song into 26 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.
