60 bars of 4/4 at 140 BPM, about 1:43 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
34 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-9, silence through bars 10-11, hi-hat through bars 12-28, silence through bars 29-35, hi-hat through bars 36-44 and silence through bars 45-46, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-7, 12-18 and 20-26, and 3 more places -- 85.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

140 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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.
34 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 18 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
60 bars, about 1:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 6 exercises over 2 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
