65 bars of 9/4 -- not four -- at 110 BPM, 4:03 of playing on hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
45 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 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-32 and silence through bars 33-65.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-21 -- 32.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

110 BPM, in 9/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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.
45 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
65 bars, about 4:03 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 13 exercises over 5 sittings, about 22 minutes each.
hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
