156 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:47 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 3-14, silence through bars 15-16, hi-hat through bars 17-50, toms through bars 51-58, hi-hat through bars 59-108 and snare through bars 109-112, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-8, 11-12 and 41-42, and 13 more places -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

165 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
156 bars, about 3:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 10 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
