108 bars, 6:34, 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.
61 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 1-7, hi-hat through bars 8-60, toms through bars 61-63, hi-hat through bars 64-80 and ride through bars 81-108.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 11 and 14, and 13 more places -- 15.8% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

60 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.
61 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 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
108 bars, about 6:34 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 45 exercises over 13 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.
