111 bars at 192 BPM -- fast, and 2:23 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
toms through bars 1-2, silence through bars 3-13, ride through bars 14-18, silence through bars 19-32, hi-hat through bars 33-63 and ride through bars 64-79, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 64-70, 72-74 and 76-78 -- 18.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

192 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.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
111 bars, about 2:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 22 exercises over 5 sittings, about 29 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.
