373 bars, 23:28, at 64 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.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
kick and crashes through bars 1-7, toms through bars 8-17, hi-hat through bars 18-227, snare through bars 228-232, silence through bars 233-236 and snare through bars 237-243, and 10 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 63-225 -- 46.3% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

It cuts the song into 64 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.
64 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.
52 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 6 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
373 bars, about 23:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 19 sittings, about 25 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.
