102 bars, 6:17, 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.
39 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.
ride through bars 3-4, silence through bars 5-14, kick and crashes through bars 15-25, hi-hat through bars 26-34, ride through bars 35-37 and hi-hat through bars 38-76, and 5 more changes after that.
The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 2, 26-28 and 30-32, and 15 more places -- 29.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

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 sixteenth notes. Slow enough to hear every mistake, which is why the room lets you sit at the written tempo rather than under it.
39 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 28 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
