155 bars of 4/4 at a walking 85 BPM, 7:16 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-3, ride through bars 4-9, kick and crashes through bars 10-15, silence through bars 16-27, hi-hat through bars 28-37 and snare through bars 38-41, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 55-59 and 79-83 -- 7.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

85 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
62 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 65 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
155 bars, about 7:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
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.
