200 bars at 177 BPM -- fast, and 4:31 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
57 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 1-7, hi-hat through bars 8-72, toms through bars 73-83, ride through bars 84-88, hi-hat through bars 89-105 and silence through bars 106-112, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-55, 71 and 89-103, and 1 more place -- 25.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 48 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.

177 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.
57 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 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
200 bars, about 4:31 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 48 exercises over 12 sittings, about 28 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.
