"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 138 and climbs to 168 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
Muted guitar and a single-stroke snare build, then the whole band drops in at 168 with the kick doubling the riff. The stops before each chorus have to be dead on. A right-hand endurance test on the hat.
Advanced: Fast, odd, or both; the part is the reason the song is famous.
