The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 13-17, 19 and 33-35, and 1 more place -- 20% of every bar the kit plays. This one moves around more than most: the beat is where to start, not the whole job.

There are no fills to speak of: the part holds one beat the whole way through.

It cuts the song into 26 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.
