256 bars, 19:46, at 61 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.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-28, hi-hat through bars 29-53, snare through bars 54-61, ride through bars 62-67, hi-hat through bars 68-77 and ride through bars 78-165, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 78-83, 102 and 118-124, and 10 more places -- 11.4% 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 77 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.
61 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 40 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
256 bars, about 19:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 77 exercises over 25 sittings, about 25 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.
