127 bars, 7:56, at 64 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 2-17, snare through bars 18-19, toms through bars 20-21, snare through bars 22-25, hi-hat through bars 26-33 and snare through bars 34-41, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2-6, 8-13 and 15, and 9 more places -- 21.4% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

64 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.
59 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 11 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
127 bars, about 7:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 14 sittings, about 22 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.
