60 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 79 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

245 bars, about 8:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 56 exercises over 17 sittings, about 27 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
