"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 100 and climbs to 130 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
Builds from a quiet verse on closed hats to a chorus with the crash on every beat. The bridge strips back to kick and vocal. It is a dynamics song: the tempo is easy, the arc is the work.
Intermediate: Needs independence, a feel, or fills you have to learn.
