"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 105 and climbs to 135 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
Constant double kick under the verse riff, a blast-beat section, and a chorus that pulls back to a heavy half-time. The stop-start riff before the chorus has to be exact. A right-foot-left-foot endurance piece.
Advanced: Fast, odd, or both; the part is the reason the song is famous.
