30 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 10 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

75 bars, about 6:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

3 fills to learn, played 3 times: bars 11, 37 and 41.
