155 bars, 8:42, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
toms through bar 1, ride through bars 2-9, hi-hat through bars 10-19, ride through bars 20-36, hi-hat through bars 37-59 and ride through bars 60-71, and 8 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 43-45, 47-49 and 51-53, and 5 more places -- 16.7% 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 47 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.
75 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.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 62 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
155 bars, about 8:42 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 47 exercises over 14 sittings, about 25 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.
