201 bars at 200 BPM -- fast, and 4:01 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-20, hi-hat through bars 21-68, silence through bars 69-72, hi-hat through bars 73-101 and toms through bars 102-112, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 21-35, 37-51 and 53-68, and 3 more places -- 80% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

27 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
201 bars, about 4:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 5 sittings, about 23 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
