ABOUT THIS DRUM PART

How to play Hoşçakal on drums

76 bars of 3/4 -- not four -- at 75 BPM, 3:03 of playing on crash, hi-hat, snare and kick.

41 out of 100 -- a fair first song -- with the independence between the hands and the feet the part that decides it.

The beat

What the course does

It cuts the song into 27 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.
