81 bars, 4:59, at 65 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom, kick and hi-hat foot and nothing else.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is.
kick and crashes through bar 1, hi-hat through bars 2-31, ride through bars 32-38, hi-hat through bars 39-47, ride through bars 48-54 and toms through bars 55-56, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 8-10, 12 and 16, and 5 more places -- 14.8% 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 33 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.
65 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.
54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
81 bars, about 4:59 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 33 exercises over 9 sittings, about 27 minutes each.
crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, 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.
