350 bars at 271 BPM -- fast, and 5:10 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, toms through bars 2-3, hi-hat through bars 4-5, ride through bars 6-7, hi-hat through bars 8-9 and ride through bars 10-11, and 37 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 4-5, 8-9 and 12-13, and 22 more places -- 17.2% 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 40 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.
271 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.
61 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 45 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
350 bars, about 5:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 28 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.
