75 bars, 4:20, at 67 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-12, ride through bars 13-16, hi-hat through bars 17-20, snare through bars 21-35, toms through bars 36-40 and ride through bars 41-44, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-16 and 42-43 -- 8.7% 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 40 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.
67 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.
77 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 95 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
75 bars, about 4:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, 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.
