62 bars, 3:25, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
50 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 5-15, hi-hat through bars 16-24 and ride through bars 25-62.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-7, 10-11 and 26-27, and 8 more places -- 36.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 25 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.
50 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 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
62 bars, about 3:25 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 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.
