119 bars, 5:57, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
hi-hat through bars 1-6, ride through bars 7-18, snare through bars 19-22, hi-hat through bars 23-24, ride through bars 25-30 and hi-hat through bars 31-34, and 11 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 77-79, 81-83 and 121-123 -- 6.7% 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 60 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.

70 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.
74 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 66 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
119 bars, about 5:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 20 sittings, about 26 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.
