hi-hat through bars 1-24, snare through bars 25-41, silence through bars 42-48, snare through bars 49-57, silence through bars 58-64 and snare through bars 65-72, and 5 more changes after that.

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 25-40, 89-104 and 153-168 -- 25.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

1 fill to learn, played 1 time: bar 24.

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.
