102 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 158 BPM, 3:52 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-20, ride through bars 21-30, toms through bars 31-34, hi-hat through bars 35-54 and ride through bars 55-64, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 21-23, 25-27 and 29-30, and 3 more places -- 28.6% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 20 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.
158 BPM, in 6/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
38 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 39 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
102 bars, about 3:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 26 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.
4 fills to learn, played 11 times: bars 20, 24, 28, 31, 32, 38 and 5 more.
