40 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

hi-hat through bars 1-5, snare through bars 6-10, hi-hat through bars 11-15, snare through bars 16-20, hi-hat through bars 21-25 and snare through bars 26-30, and 10 more changes after that.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 6-10, 16-20 and 26-30, and 5 more places -- 48% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

2 fills to learn, played 4 times: bars 36, 92, 110 and 126.

It cuts the song into 29 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.
