108 bars of 4/4 at 154 BPM, about 2:48 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-21, hi-hat through bars 22-51, silence through bars 52-53, hi-hat through bars 54-77 and kick and crashes through bars 78-85, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-21, 37 and 39, and 8 more places -- 34.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 19 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.
154 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 4 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
108 bars, about 2:48 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 4 sittings, about 31 minutes each.
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.
