139 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:14 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick.
53 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 bar 1, snare through bars 2-18, hi-hat through bars 19-35, snare through bars 36-47, silence through bars 48-49 and kick and crashes through bars 50-51, and 26 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-4, 6-8 and 10-12, and 5 more places -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

165 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.
53 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
139 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 4 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
