123 bars, 7:09, 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.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-7, hi-hat through bars 8-28, ride through bars 29-42, hi-hat through bars 43-62 and ride through bars 63-79, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 29-31, 33 and 37, and 9 more places -- 17.5% 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 50 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.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
123 bars, about 7:09 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 50 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.
