58 bars, 3:43, at 62 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick and nothing else.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bar 1, snare through bars 2-5, ride through bars 6-17, hi-hat through bars 18-21, ride through bars 22-34 and hi-hat through bars 35-43, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-20, 35-37 and 51-53, and 1 more place -- 20.3% 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 30 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.
62 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.
90 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 69 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
58 bars, about 3:43 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 12 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
