115 bars of 4/4 at 120 BPM, about 3:50 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-5, hi-hat through bars 6-48, kick and crashes through bars 49-55, snare through bars 56-61, hi-hat through bars 62-69 and silence through bars 70-73, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 6-13, 18-25 and 34-41, and 1 more place -- 29.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 33 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. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
120 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 52 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
115 bars, about 3:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
