78 bars of 8/4 -- not four -- at 160 BPM, 3:57 of playing on hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick.
32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
silence through bars 1-6, hi-hat through bars 7-38 and silence through bars 39-78.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-17, 20-29 and 32, and 3 more places -- 72.7% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

It cuts the song into 5 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.
160 BPM, in 8/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 42 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
78 bars, about 3:57 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 5 exercises over 2 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom and kick. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
