Count quarter notes on the high-hat for 26 measures. Increase the volume of the high-hat by measure 24 and play a crash cymbal on the first beat of measure 24 and 25. For the first 26 measures, keep the high-hat firmly closed and strike it with the tip of your stick, using your right hand. From measure 16, begin to increase the power that you hit the hats and gradually release your foot from the pedal to allow the high-hats to "sizzle."
Drop into a steady 4/4 groove for the verse. Play the kick pedal on beat one and three, the snare on beat two and four and play a quarter note pattern continuously. This beat continues throughout the chorus, with only cymbal crashes at the start and end of the chorus on beat one of the first and beat four of the last measure. Finish the chorus with a straight snare pattern between each beat of the bar, so "one and two and three and four" are all snare beats.
Drop out for the guitar break. The guitar break comes in after the second chorus. Keep the beat by playing the intro high-hat pattern and gradually building for the next chorus.
The high-hat intro has the same structure as the original, but is half as long, at 13 measures. The playing style is more aggressive. To achieve this sound, rest your foot on the pedal gently so that the high-hats crash against each other. Play the high-hat pattern with two hands and hit the hats heavily. For the first two measures, play a swing beat, incorporating buzz rolls on the hats on beats one and three of each measure, then fall into the high-hat groove.
Drop into an accented 4/4 groove. Play the accent on the snare in between beat one and two of every fourth measure. For example, if you count the beat as "one and two and three and four," the accent comes on "and" in between beats one and two.
Swap high-hat for ride cymbal in the chorus. This opens up the sound and leaves space for vocals.
Drop out for the guitar break. The guitar break comes after the second chorus and lasts for six measures in this version. Keep the beat with a "sizzling" high-hat pattern, build the dynamics gradually and return to the chorus beat.
