127 bars at 197 BPM -- fast, and 2:35 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 40.

It cuts the song into 30 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.
