The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 1-3, 5 and 7, and 8 more places -- 20.2% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 20.

It cuts the song into 36 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.
