Questions

52 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.

214 bars, about 14:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 55 exercises over 15 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, 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.

How many fills are in Paralyzed and Bleeding?

8 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 37, 65, 68, 80, 83, 87 and 8 more.
