101 bars, 5:17, at 71 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.
48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-25, toms through bars 26-27, snare through bars 28-29, hi-hat through bars 30-32 and snare through bars 33-51, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-7, 12 and 15, and 5 more places -- 11.1% 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 40 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.
71 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.
48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 21 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
101 bars, about 5:17 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 40 exercises over 12 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.
6 fills to learn, played 8 times: bars 24, 25, 51, 56, 58, 60 and 2 more.
