174 bars at 216 BPM -- fast, and 3:13 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
55 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 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-25, silence through bars 26-29, hi-hat through bars 30-35, snare through bars 36-37 and hi-hat through bars 38-41, and 22 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 14-16, 18-19 and 82-84, and 1 more place -- 6.5% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 61 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.
216 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.
55 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 51 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
174 bars, about 3:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 61 exercises over 20 sittings, about 25 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.
