70 bars at 166 BPM -- fast, and 1:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-3, snare through bars 4-19, kick and crashes through bars 20-43, toms through bars 44-59, kick and crashes through bars 60-63 and snare through bars 64-70.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 44-59 -- 20% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

166 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.
52 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
70 bars, about 1:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
