155 bars of 4/4 at 138 BPM, about 4:30 of playing, on hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot.
32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it.
hi-hat through bars 1-5, kick and crashes through bars 6-25, hi-hat through bars 26-30, kick and crashes through bars 31-32, hi-hat through bars 33-45 and kick and crashes through bars 46-60, and 12 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 26-30, 61-65 and 81-85 -- 9.7% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

BD |------------x-----------|There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.
It cuts the song into 20 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.
138 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.
32 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with how much of it falls off the beat the part that decides it. The beat itself is 58 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
155 bars, about 4:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 20 exercises over 6 sittings, about 24 minutes each.
hi-hat, snare, kick and hi-hat foot. Nothing in the part asks for anything else.
