77 bars, 4:56, at 62 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick and nothing else.

ride through bars 2-3, snare through bars 4-5, ride through bars 6-9, hi-hat through bars 10-21, snare through bars 22-25 and hi-hat through bars 26-27, and 13 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 10-21, 26-27 and 30-33, and 5 more places -- 50% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.

33 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it. The beat itself is 20 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
77 bars, about 4:56 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 14 exercises over 4 sittings, about 22 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.
