140 bars at 167 BPM -- fast, and 3:21 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bar 1, ride through bars 2-12, hi-hat through bars 13-15, ride through bars 16-18, hi-hat through bars 19-21 and ride through bars 22-24, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 2-8, 56-62 and 84-90, and 6 more places -- 28.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 23 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.
167 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
53 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
140 bars, about 3:21 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 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.
