172 bars at 176 BPM -- fast, and 3:55 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bar 1, silence through bars 2-20, hi-hat through bars 21-117, silence through bars 118-123, toms through bars 124-125 and silence through bars 126-131, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-23, 25-43 and 45-51, and 6 more places -- 88% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
172 bars, about 3:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 7 exercises over 2 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
