210 bars at 180 BPM -- fast, and 4:40 of it without a break -- on snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it.
toms through bars 1-8, snare through bars 9-113, kick and crashes through bars 114-141, snare through bars 142-149, silence through bars 150-153 and kick and crashes through bars 154-170, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 17-19, 21 and 23, and 13 more places -- 30.2% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 31 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.
180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how many notes a second it asks for the part that decides it. The beat itself is 35 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
210 bars, about 4:40 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 31 exercises over 10 sittings, about 23 minutes each.
