83 bars, 4:45, at 70 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-10, hi-hat through bars 11-17, kick and crashes through bars 18-19, silence through bars 20-25, toms through bars 26-27 and hi-hat through bars 28-33, and 9 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11, 13 and 15, and 16 more places -- 34.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 21 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.
70 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.
51 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
83 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 21 exercises over 6 sittings, about 28 minutes each.
crash, 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.
