168 bars at 176 BPM -- fast, and 3:49 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-24, silence through bars 25-48, hi-hat through bars 49-65, silence through bars 66-68, toms through bars 69-70 and ride through bars 71-76, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 97-103 and 105-111 -- 10.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 40 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.
176 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.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 12 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
168 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 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.
