75 bars, 4:40, at 64 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
snare through bar 1, silence through bars 2-4, hi-hat through bars 5-24, ride through bars 25-49, toms through bars 50-52 and ride through bars 53-75.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 62, 68 and 70, and 2 more places -- 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 39 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.
64 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
75 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 39 exercises over 11 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
