73 bars, 4:10, at 70 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.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-4, toms through bars 5-12, hi-hat through bars 13-15, snare through bars 16-24, toms through bars 25-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-36, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-19, 22-23 and 38-39, and 7 more places -- 22.4% 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 27 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.
70 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.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 59 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
73 bars, about 4:10 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 27 exercises over 10 sittings, about 23 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.
6 fills to learn, played 14 times: bars 12, 16, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 8 more.
