What the course does

It cuts the song into 18 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.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- A -- 2 exercises, about 17 minutes.
  2. Bars 5-11 -- 5 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  3. Bars 9-21 -- 3 exercises, about 27 minutes. Open above.
  4. Bars 17-32 -- 6 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through the Outro and the Outro 2 -- 5 exercises, about 27 minutes.
  6. The whole song -- 2 exercises, about 14 minutes.

Is Sultan-ı Yegâh hard to play on drums?

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in how fine the subdivision is. The beat itself is 33 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.
