190 bars, 11:00, at 66 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-9, ride through bars 10-36, hi-hat through bars 37-63, ride through bars 64-67, hi-hat through bars 68-77 and ride through bars 78-85, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 86, 88 and 90-92, and 9 more places -- 14.3% 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 79 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.
88 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 50 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
190 bars, about 11:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 79 exercises over 24 sittings, about 27 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.
