82 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 110 BPM, 2:34 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-22, toms through bars 23-31, hi-hat through bars 32-46 and silence through bars 47-82.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 10 and 13-14, and 2 more places -- 17.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 36 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
82 bars, about 2:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
