161 bars, 8:38, at 69 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.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-16, hi-hat through bars 17-32, ride through bars 33-64, hi-hat through bars 65-80 and ride through bars 81-112, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5, 7 and 9, and 17 more places -- 13.3% 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 46 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.
69 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.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
161 bars, about 8:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 46 exercises over 16 sittings, about 25 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.
