116 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 2:49 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-8, hi-hat through bars 9-32, snare through bars 33-36, hi-hat through bars 37-60 and snare through bars 61-65, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-12, 14-19 and 22-27, and 3 more places -- 27.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
116 bars, about 2:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 5 sittings, about 30 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
