"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 110 and climbs to 140 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
Motorcycles, then a strutting backbeat with the kick pushing the "and"s under the riff and a crash on every section change. A simple part played with an enormous snare sound.
Intermediate: Needs independence, a feel, or fills you have to learn.
