silence through bars 1-6, snare through bars 7-8 and hi-hat through bars 9-107.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 9-12, 38 and 40, and 5 more places -- 31.7% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

It cuts the song into 31 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.
