185 bars at 215 BPM -- fast, and 3:27 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-56, ride through bars 57-72, hi-hat through bars 73-104, toms through bars 105-120, hi-hat through bars 121-136 and snare through bars 137-152, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 1-7, 9-56 and 73-104, and 1 more place -- 81.6% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

56 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
185 bars, about 3:27 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 4 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
