219 bars, 13:54, at 63 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.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-27, silence through bars 28-29, ride through bars 30-51, toms through bars 52-53 and hi-hat through bars 54-73, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 94-96, 98-100 and 102-104, and 16 more places -- 20.4% 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 63 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.

63 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
53 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 8 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
219 bars, about 13:54 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 63 exercises over 17 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.
