73 bars, 4:00, at 73 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, hi-hat through bars 5-12, snare through bars 13-21, silence through bars 22-24, hi-hat through bars 25-32 and snare through bars 33-73.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-15, 17-19 and 33-35, and 7 more places -- 45.5% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 15 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.

73 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.
83 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
73 bars, about 4:00 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 6 sittings, about 22 minutes each.
