The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 11-15, 58-62 and 73-77, and 1 more place -- 26.3% 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 40.

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.
