81 bars, 4:38, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-5, ride through bars 6-9, silence through bars 10-20, snare through bars 21-23, ride through bars 24-29 and snare through bars 30-31, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 22-23, 30-31 and 47-49, and 2 more places -- 17.2% 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 29 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.
70 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.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 24 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
81 bars, about 4:38 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 7 sittings, about 30 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.
