74 bars, 4:29, at 66 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-72 and kick and crashes through bars 73-74.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-12 and 21-30 -- 29.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 31 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.
66 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.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
74 bars, about 4:29 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 9 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, 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.
