72 bars of 4/4 at a walking 104 BPM, 2:46 of playing, on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-4, kick and crashes through bars 5-6, silence through bars 7-21, ride through bars 22-23, hi-hat through bars 24-27 and ride through bars 28-31, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-31, 36-38 and 49-50, and 1 more place -- 20.8% 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 25 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.

104 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
63 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
72 bars, about 2:46 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 25 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 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.
4 fills to learn, played 5 times: bars 5, 39, 46, 47 and 71.
