133 bars at 155 BPM -- fast, and 3:26 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-3, hi-hat through bars 4-11, snare through bars 12-27, hi-hat through bars 28-43, snare through bars 44-51 and hi-hat through bars 52-59, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-11, 28-35 and 118-125 -- 24.2% 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 33 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.
155 BPM, in 4/4, 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.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
133 bars, about 3:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
