0:55 - We explain how the bass beat is played almost independently of the rest of the drumming beat

2:54 - Once we have everything covered, we can add the bass
4:26 - Break down how to play the final fill part of the 4th measure
5:53 - We explain the "prep stroke" and a good technique I use to get my "prep stroke" just how I need it to be
