79 bars, 7:16, at 44 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.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
kick and crashes through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-15, ride through bars 16-22, snare through bars 23-29, ride through bars 30-44 and hi-hat through bars 45-52, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-7, 10-11 and 14, and 2 more places -- 10.3% 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 32 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.
44 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.
63 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 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
79 bars, about 7:16 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 10 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.
