141 bars, 11:04, at 51 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
54 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 1-37, toms through bars 38-53, kick and crashes through bars 54-55, toms through bars 56-65, snare through bars 66-67 and toms through bars 68-74, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 42-43, 56-57 and 72-73 -- 6.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 39 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.

51 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
54 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 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
141 bars, about 11:04 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 14 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
