112 bars at 160 BPM -- fast, and 2:48 of it without a break -- on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it.
toms through bars 1-5, silence through bars 6-72, kick and crashes through bars 73-74, silence through bars 75-85, kick and crashes through bars 86-87 and silence through bars 88-97, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 98-99 -- 9.5% 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 10 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.
160 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
112 bars, about 2:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 10 exercises over 3 sittings, about 23 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.
