179 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 4:29 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how fine the subdivision is the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-3, toms through bars 4-5, hi-hat through bars 6-15, toms through bars 16-17, hi-hat through bars 18-19 and toms through bars 20-21, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7, 11 and 15, and 38 more places -- 23.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how fine the subdivision is the part that decides it. The beat itself is 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
179 bars, about 4:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, 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.
