175 bars at 212 BPM -- fast, and 3:18 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for.
hi-hat through bars 1-10, toms through bars 11-12, ride through bars 13-19, snare through bars 20-28, hi-hat through bars 29-42 and toms through bars 43-44, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 134-141, 168-170 and 172-173 -- 8.7% 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 69 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.
212 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.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how many notes a second it asks for. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
175 bars, about 3:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 69 exercises over 19 sittings, about 28 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.
18 fills to learn, played 34 times: bars 16, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25 and 28 more.
