80 bars, 5:20, at 60 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat.
toms through bars 3-28, hi-hat through bars 29-32, toms through bars 33-44, hi-hat through bars 45-48, toms through bars 49-60 and hi-hat through bars 61-68, and 1 more change after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 3, 5-7 and 9-27, and 7 more places -- 69.2% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

It cuts the song into 8 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.
72 out of 100: demanding, mostly on how much of it falls off the beat. The beat itself is 54 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
80 bars, about 5:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 8 exercises over 5 sittings, about 22 minutes each.
crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
