97 bars, 6:15, at 62 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.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-12, ride through bars 13-22, hi-hat through bars 23-49, silence through bars 50-53 and kick and crashes through bars 54-57, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 57-58, 61-62 and 65-67, and 1 more place -- 11.2% 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 42 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.

62 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.
73 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
97 bars, about 6:15 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 42 exercises over 13 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.
