131 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:17 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-32, toms through bars 33-36, ride through bars 37-54, hi-hat through bars 55-78, toms through bars 79-82 and ride through bars 83-114, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-20, 22-24 and 26-28, and 5 more places -- 18.3% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 28 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 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.
56 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
131 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 10 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.
