87 bars, 4:37, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-16, toms through bars 17-19, snare through bars 20-29, hi-hat through bars 30-37 and snare through bars 38-55, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 38-40, and 1 more place -- 14.5% 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 35 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.
75 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.
69 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 55 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
87 bars, about 4:37 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 35 exercises over 13 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, 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.
