106 bars of 8/4 -- not four -- at 160 BPM, 5:52 of playing on crash, ride, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-8, kick and crashes through bars 9-13, ride through bars 14-28, snare through bars 29-51 and silence through bars 52-106.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 14-15, 17-22 and 24-27 -- 27.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 16 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.
160 BPM, in 8/4, 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 how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 77 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
106 bars, about 5:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 6 sittings, about 23 minutes each.
