149 bars at 156 BPM -- fast, and 3:49 of it without a break -- on crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
50 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 1-12, snare through bars 13-20, hi-hat through bars 21-28, silence through bars 29-32, hi-hat through bars 33-44 and snare through bars 45-48, and 15 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-10 and 13-19, and 22 more places -- 30.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

156 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
50 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 34 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
149 bars, about 3:49 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, 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.
