95 bars of 6/4 -- not four -- at 73 BPM, 7:47 of playing on crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 1-16, ride through bars 17-20, hi-hat through bars 21-32, ride through bars 33-40, hi-hat through bars 41-46 and ride through bars 47-56, and 2 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-11, 15 and 25, and 5 more places -- 19% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

It cuts the song into 37 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.
73 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.
55 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 32 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
95 bars, about 7:47 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 37 exercises over 10 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
