132 bars, 7:13, at 72 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.
91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-11, toms through bars 12-24, ride through bars 25-27, hi-hat through bars 28-48, ride through bars 49-65 and silence through bars 66-67, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 68-74 and 76-81 -- 10.1% 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 60 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.
72 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.
91 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
132 bars, about 7:13 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 60 exercises over 20 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.
