161 bars, 8:59, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-15, kick and crashes through bars 16-20, hi-hat through bars 21-24, kick and crashes through bars 25-26, snare through bars 27-42 and silence through bars 43-53, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 130-132, 150 and 159-160 -- 5.9% 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.

71 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.
53 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 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
161 bars, about 8:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 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.
