98 bars, 5:18, at 74 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-6, toms through bars 7-8, kick and crashes through bars 9-14, toms through bars 15-29, silence through bars 30-47 and hi-hat through bars 48-50, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-13, 37 and 83 -- 10.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

74 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
37 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 0 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
98 bars, about 5:18 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 9 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
