90 bars, 5:00, at 72 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
hi-hat through bars 1-47, silence through bars 48-60 and hi-hat through bars 61-90.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-4, 6-9 and 11-19, and 5 more places -- 29.9% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 32 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 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.
68 out of 100: demanding, mostly on 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.
90 bars, about 5:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 32 exercises over 11 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
