"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 93 and climbs to 123 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
The money beat, at the money tempo. A straight rock backbeat with an open hi-hat lift into the chorus, and a single crash to mark each section. Nothing to learn but the discipline.
Beginner: A steady beat and a fill or two — first-gig material.
