The backbeat count. Some databases list 152, the eighth-note pulse.
"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 47 and climbs to 77 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
The power ballad: piano intro, then a slow backbeat with a big reverb snare and tom fills between the vocal lines. Nothing fast, everything exposed — good for learning to fill without rushing.
Beginner: A steady beat and a fill or two — first-gig material.
