220 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 66 BPM, 17:07 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot.
79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet.
ride through bar 1, snare through bars 2-11, hi-hat through bars 12-13, snare through bars 14-15, hi-hat through bars 16-18 and ride through bars 19-44, and 19 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 136-148 and 166-168 -- 9.1% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

66 BPM, in 6/4, 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.
79 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 53 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
220 bars, about 17:07 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 83 exercises over 24 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
