132 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 3:15 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 3-6, snare through bars 7-12, hi-hat through bars 13-19, kick and crashes through bars 20-23, hi-hat through bars 24-38 and snare through bars 39-40, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-17, 32 and 34, and 3 more places -- 22.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

160 BPM, in 4/4, 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.
58 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
132 bars, about 3:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 44 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
