76 bars, 4:50, at 63 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, ride through bars 5-8, hi-hat through bars 9-14, ride through bars 15-28, hi-hat through bars 29-34 and ride through bars 35-44, and 4 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 15-17, 20-22 and 35-37, and 5 more places -- 27.4% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 30 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.
63 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.
65 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
76 bars, about 4:50 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 10 sittings, about 25 minutes each.
crash, ride, 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.
