104 bars, 6:55, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-19, ride through bars 20-23, snare through bars 24-27, hi-hat through bars 28-43 and silence through bars 44-48, and 7 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-10, 28-30 and 32-34, and 9 more places -- 29.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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. 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.
60 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.
78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 64 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
104 bars, about 6:55 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 11 sittings, about 26 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.
