The beat the song is built on is a 2-bar phrase, played through bars 5-10, 37-42 and 45-50, and 3 more places -- 46.3% of every bar the kit plays. Learn that one and most of the song is already under your hands.
It is played on crash, ride, snare and kick, counted in sixteenth notes. On its own it scores 48 out of 100 -- a step up -- and the thing that decides that is how many notes a second it asks for.
The whole song is 50 out of 100, so the beat is most of what the song asks for. Get it clean and the rest follows.
The room opens this beat on its simplest reduction, at 120 BPM, and adds the notes back a rung at a time -- 4 of them. Nothing is a matter of opinion: each rung has a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next one.
Tempo goes 120, 142, 163 and 185 BPM, and the gate at each one is 8 loops in a row with no wrong note and no wobble in the time.
