116 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 2:58 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
57 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 1-6, kick and crashes through bars 7-13, silence through bars 14-20, hi-hat through bars 21-34, ride through bars 35-50 and silence through bars 51-52, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 35, 37-43 and 45-49 -- 14.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

156 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
57 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 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
116 bars, about 2:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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.
