92 bars, 5:19, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-9, silence through bars 10-12, hi-hat through bars 13-29, silence through bars 30-33, toms through bars 34-40 and ride through bars 41-56, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5-7 and 13-15, and 7 more places -- 36.1% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 28 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.
60 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
92 bars, about 5:19 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 28 exercises over 8 sittings, about 28 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.
