"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 94 and climbs to 124 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
A loping backbeat with the snare on two and four and a lightly swung hi-hat — the rooftop concert groove. Nothing difficult, everything about feel.
Beginner: A steady beat and a fill or two — first-gig material.
