67 bars, 4:28, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
silence through bars 1-9 and ride through bars 10-67.
The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 18-21, 30-37 and 46-48, and 1 more place -- 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 18 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.
60 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.
57 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 47 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
67 bars, about 4:28 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 18 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
