124 bars of 8/4 -- not four -- at 160 BPM, 5:40 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.
48 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 1-16, hi-hat through bars 17-36, ride through bars 37-46, hi-hat through bars 47-64, ride through bars 65-73 and silence through bars 74-124.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 47-64 -- 25% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 22 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.
160 BPM, in 8/4, 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.
48 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
124 bars, about 5:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 7 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
