113 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 180 BPM, 3:14 of playing on crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-22, silence through bars 23-25, snare through bars 26-31, toms through bars 32-33 and snare through bars 34-42, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 66-80 -- 25.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

180 BPM, in 6/4, 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.
44 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 43 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
113 bars, about 3:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 23 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
