143 bars, 7:50, at 73 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
kick and crashes through bar 1, ride through bars 2-10, snare through bars 11-18 and ride through bars 19-143.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34, 40-42 and 44-46, and 4 more places -- 12.6% 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 59 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.
73 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
143 bars, about 7:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 59 exercises over 16 sittings, about 26 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.
14 fills to learn, played 17 times: bars 3, 5, 35, 37, 54, 83 and 11 more.
