79 bars, 4:39, at 68 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
51 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 1-5, ride through bars 6-14, hi-hat through bars 15-22, ride through bars 23-50, hi-hat through bars 51-54 and ride through bars 55-79.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 37-43, 55 and 57, and 4 more places -- 33.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 24 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.
68 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
51 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 29 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
79 bars, about 4:39 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 8 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
