62 bars, 3:30, at 71 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet.
silence through bars 1-4, snare through bars 5-13, hi-hat through bars 14-21, ride through bars 22-28, hi-hat through bars 29-41 and toms through bars 42-43, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6, 30 and 32 -- 5.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

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. 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.
71 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.
80 out of 100. Hard, and what makes it hard is the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 41 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
62 bars, about 3:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 15 exercises over 5 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, 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.
