90 bars, 5:00, at 72 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.
48 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 1-12, hi-hat through bars 13-24, toms through bars 25-26, hi-hat through bars 27-46, toms through bars 47-48 and hi-hat through bars 49-56, and 6 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 13-24 and 27-46 -- 40.5% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 15 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.
72 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.
48 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
90 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 22 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.
3 fills to learn, played 6 times: bars 12, 25, 26, 47, 48 and 72.
