524 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 13:26 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-52, snare through bars 53-54, hi-hat through bars 55-86, silence through bars 87-88 and toms through bars 89-96, and 23 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 15-22, 27-34 and 37-52, and 13 more places -- 33.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

156 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.
59 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 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
524 bars, about 13:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 21 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
