204 bars, 11:14, at 75 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 1-11, snare through bars 12-14, ride through bars 15-20, snare through bars 21-31, hi-hat through bars 32-35 and ride through bars 36-39, and 26 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 153, 157 and 161-162, and 1 more place -- 3.5% 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 43 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.
75 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth 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 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
204 bars, about 11:14 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 43 exercises over 16 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.
