73 bars of 4/4 at 127 BPM, about 2:15 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
toms through bars 1-9, hi-hat through bars 10-17, ride through bars 18-26, hi-hat through bars 27-34, ride through bars 35-51 and silence through bars 52-55, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-17, 27-34 and 56-63 -- 34.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 14 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.
127 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
45 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
73 bars, about 2:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
