If you don't know how to read guitar tab (as computer text), this section of a Wikipedia article may help.

• Jon plays guitar.
• Ryan uses a MIDI controller keyboard to trigger various sequenced patterns and fills with Digidesign Strike.
• Strike is an RTAS virtual instrument, and can only be used with Digidesign Pro Tools digital audio workstation software.
• Pro Tools (HD, LE, or M-Powered) requires additional hardware to run.
• This is more of a good thing because a default personal computer sound card usually sucks (poor quality, contains no 1/4" inputs, and definitely no XLR inputs).
• In any case, Ryan is not much of a keyboard drummer, but he plays a simplistic 6/8 beat:  Hi-hats at every eighth note; kick at the first beat (and possibly the fourth beat?); snare at the fourth beat.
