93 bars, 4:58, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
55 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 5-6, silence through bars 7-8, ride through bars 9-11, toms through bars 12-13 and hi-hat through bars 14-48, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 49-59 and 65-75 -- 25.3% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 33 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.
75 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.
55 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 37 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
93 bars, about 4:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 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.
