105 bars at 158 BPM -- fast, and 2:39 of it without a break -- on hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-73, kick and crashes through bars 74-80, silence through bars 81-88 and hi-hat through bars 89-105.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-31, 33-39 and 43-71, and 1 more place -- 69.8% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
105 bars, about 2:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 2 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
