97 bars, 5:23, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-16, snare through bars 17-31, hi-hat through bars 32-36, snare through bars 37-52 and hi-hat through bars 53-54, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 5-7, 9-11 and 13-15, and 5 more places -- 20.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

72 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
97 bars, about 5:23 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 11 sittings, about 29 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
