123 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 5:01 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
57 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 1-3, ride through bars 4-12, toms through bars 13-21, hi-hat through bars 22-64, silence through bars 65-83 and ride through bars 84-86, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 34-35, 37-38 and 40-41, and 7 more places -- 25% 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.
120 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
57 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
123 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 5 sittings, about 20 minutes each.
