75 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 1:32 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
hi-hat through bars 1-6, silence through bars 7-12, snare through bars 13-17, silence through bars 18-20, snare through bars 21-24 and silence through bars 25-28, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-4 and 37-40 -- 33.3% 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.
180 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.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 97 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
