145 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 3:25 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-7, ride through bars 8-9, hi-hat through bars 10-11, ride through bars 12-13 and hi-hat through bars 14-15, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 24-38 and 62-77 -- 21.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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.
170 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.
58 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 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
