79 bars, 4:52, at 65 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-28, toms through bars 29-30, hi-hat through bars 31-64, silence through bars 65-70 and hi-hat through bars 71-79.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 7-13, 15-23 and 26, and 8 more places -- 65.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

It cuts the song into 17 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.
65 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.
49 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 31 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
79 bars, about 4:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 17 exercises over 5 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, 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.
