217 bars at 170 BPM -- fast, and 5:26 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
61 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 bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-7, silence through bars 8-9, ride through bars 10-12 and toms through bars 13-17, and 27 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 71-73, 75-77 and 83-85, and 3 more places -- 10.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 70 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. 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.
170 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.
61 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 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
217 bars, about 5:26 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 70 exercises over 23 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
