140 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:30 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 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 bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-17, silence through bars 18-20, hi-hat through bars 21-55, snare through bars 56-60 and hi-hat through bars 61-87, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 39-45, 47-49 and 51-53, and 10 more places -- 32.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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.
160 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.
63 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.
140 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
