141 bars at 165 BPM -- fast, and 3:25 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 1-23, hi-hat through bars 24-48, snare through bars 49-71, hi-hat through bars 72-106, toms through bars 107-108 and hi-hat through bars 109-141.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-24 and 49-72 -- 34.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

141 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 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.
