"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 119 and climbs to 149 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
Eighth notes on the hat with the kick on the "and"s under the guitar, and a chorus that opens to the crash. The "na na" breakdown drops to half-time on the floor tom. Barker at his most restrained, which is still busy.
Intermediate: Needs independence, a feel, or fills you have to learn.
