104 bars of 4/4 at 140 BPM, about 2:58 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.
47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-10, hi-hat through bars 11-15, snare through bars 16-20, hi-hat through bars 21-35 and snare through bars 36-56, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 37-58, 91-95 and 101-104 -- 31% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

140 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.
47 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 25 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
104 bars, about 2:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
