86 bars, 4:36, at 74 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
53 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
hi-hat through bars 2-51, ride through bars 52-54, hi-hat through bars 55-62, silence through bars 63-64, snare through bars 65-80 and silence through bars 81-82, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 34-35, 65-71 and 73-79, and 1 more place -- 23.5% 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 30 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.
74 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.
53 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.
86 bars, about 4:36 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 8 sittings, about 26 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
