128 bars, 9:01, at 59 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
61 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
toms through bars 1-13, snare through bars 14-18, silence through bars 19-23, ride through bars 24-75, hi-hat through bars 76-83 and snare through bars 84-111, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 76-91, 96-110 and 112-123 -- 36.1% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

59 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.
61 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 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
