133 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:20 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
50 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 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-12, snare through bars 13-18, hi-hat through bars 19-22, snare through bars 23-24 and hi-hat through bars 25-36, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-11, 21 and 25, and 19 more places -- 33.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

50 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.
133 bars, about 3:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, 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.
