131 bars of 4/4 at 149 BPM, about 3:31 of playing, on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-6, snare through bars 7-19, toms through bars 20-30, hi-hat through bars 31-36 and toms through bars 37-38, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-18, 31-34 and 53, and 17 more places -- 26.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 26 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.
149 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second 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.
60 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 13 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
131 bars, about 3:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 26 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, 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.
