The half-time count. Some databases list 150, the double-time pulse.
"Work up to it" opens the tempo trainer at 46 and climbs to 76 in steps of four every eight bars. Members get the climb; everyone gets the click.
What the drums do
A reggae-tinged half-time feel with the kick on three, busy hi-hat work through the verses, and a chorus that opens on the crash. Dun plays the sixteenth-note hi-hat subdivisions with one hand.
Intermediate: Needs independence, a feel, or fills you have to learn.
