84 bars, 4:56, at 68 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
hi-hat through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-16, hi-hat through bars 17-24, ride through bars 25-32, hi-hat through bars 33-48 and ride through bars 49-64, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 9-16, 25-32 and 49-64, and 1 more place -- 46.4% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 16 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.
68 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.
67 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
84 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 16 exercises over 5 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
