repeat part (1), then (2), then (3) and then (4)
so everything actually... :-)

then you repeat part (1), but not entirely. Do it like this:

And here you need to slow down a little while you're playing.
----------------------------------------------------------------
^ = Play these notes up to down in a slight move so you can here every note of
them.
    You can here it very good at the beginning of the song.

d = Hit the snares down

u = Hit the snares up
