164 bars at 169 BPM -- fast, and 3:53 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
snare through bars 2-3, kick and crashes through bars 4-7, toms through bars 8-9, kick and crashes through bars 10-11, snare through bars 12-13 and kick and crashes through bars 14-15, and 16 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-32, 46-60 and 90-104 -- 27.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

164 bars, about 3:53 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 9 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
