120 bars, 7:18, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-11, silence through bars 12-15, ride through bars 16-34, kick and crashes through bars 35-36 and silence through bars 37-41, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 77-82, 85-86 and 88-98 -- 22.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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.
72 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.
55 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 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
120 bars, about 7:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 36 exercises over 10 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.
