87 bars of 4/4 at a walking 84 BPM, 4:07 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
50 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 1-8, hi-hat through bars 9-58, silence through bars 59-62, hi-hat through bars 63-73, silence through bars 74-76 and snare through bars 77-79, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 13 and 15, and 4 more places -- 85.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

It cuts the song into 9 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.
84 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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.
50 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 44 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
87 bars, about 4:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 9 exercises over 3 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
hi-hat, snare, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
