65 bars, 3:28, at 75 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat.
silence through bars 1-8, kick and crashes through bars 9-12, hi-hat through bars 13-17, silence through bars 18-24, kick and crashes through bars 25-28 and hi-hat through bars 29-33, and 3 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 49-55 and 57-63 -- 31.1% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 20 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.

75 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.
56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
65 bars, about 3:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 7 sittings, about 22 minutes each.
