112 bars, 6:35, at 68 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-8, ride through bars 9-58, snare through bars 59-99, toms through bars 100-103 and ride through bars 104-112.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9, 11 and 13, and 17 more places -- 19.6% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

68 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.
64 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 57 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
112 bars, about 6:35 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 34 exercises over 13 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
crash, ride, snare, 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.
