169 bars at 168 BPM -- fast, and 4:01 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-9, hi-hat through bars 10-29, silence through bars 30-60, ride through bars 61-76 and snare through bars 77-88, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 137-139, 141-142 and 145-147, and 5 more places -- 15.9% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

168 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.
64 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
169 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 51 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
