106 bars, 5:55, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 2-10, kick and crashes through bars 11-34, hi-hat through bars 35-46, silence through bars 47-53, snare through bars 54-65 and hi-hat through bars 66-67, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 39-40, 43-44 and 97, and 2 more places -- 11.6% 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 30 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.

70 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.
40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how often it moves around the kit the part that decides it. The beat itself is 19 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
106 bars, about 5:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
