"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 114 and climbs to 144 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
A stomping verse with the kick under the riff and a chorus that opens to the crash, with double-kick bursts and a snare that is all attack. The "push my fingers into my eyes" intro is drums and vocal alone — no cover for the tempo.
Advanced: Fast, odd, or both; the part is the reason the song is famous.
