173 bars, 10:47, at 74 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.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bars 1-12, silence through bars 13-20, snare through bars 21-28, toms through bars 29-37, silence through bars 38-40 and kick and crashes through bars 41-44, and 14 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 53-62 and 113-115 -- 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 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.
74 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.
54 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 46 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
173 bars, about 10:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 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.
