110 bars of 2/4 -- not four -- at 67 BPM, 3:17 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-37, hi-hat through bars 38-53, ride through bars 54-65, hi-hat through bars 66-85 and ride through bars 86-95, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 18-37, 55-65 and 84, and 1 more place -- 40.8% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 19 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.
67 BPM, in 2/4, 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.
35 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 15 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
110 bars, about 3:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 19 exercises over 4 sittings, about 29 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.
