128 bars, 7:58, at 67 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick 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 1-16, ride through bars 17-32, hi-hat through bars 33-44, ride through bars 45-56, hi-hat through bars 57-60 and kick and crashes through bars 61-62, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-4, 6 and 8-15, and 11 more places -- 32.5% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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.
67 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 30 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
128 bars, about 7:58 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 10 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, 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.
