146 bars, 14:30, at 40 BPM: slow enough that every note is exposed. Crash, hi-hat, snare, mid tom, floor tom and kick and nothing else.
44 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
kick and crashes through bar 1, silence through bars 2-27, hi-hat through bars 28-47, toms through bars 48-49, hi-hat through bars 50-51 and toms through bars 52-53, and 20 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 28-46, 60-70 and 74-75, and 4 more places -- 62% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and the song is very nearly finished.

40 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
44 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 26 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
146 bars, about 14:30 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 12 exercises over 4 sittings, about 21 minutes each.
crash, 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.
