The beat

The beat the song is built on is one bar, played through bars 33, 36-41 and 43-47, and 13 more places -- 28.8% of every bar the kit plays. That is the spine of it; everything else is what happens around it.

The fills

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

What the course does

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.
