I've just fired another one up on the site for you guys...
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day.
quote: Thanks mate,funnily enough I downloaded it last Saturday. Must get the full versh soon.
What a coincidence man!  I'd say It's well worth the investment although I've not really tried any of the other to compare it to.

Actually it's on a free piece of software called Lilypond. Produces nice output, but its main advantage (or disadvantage!) is that you give it a mark-up text file instead of entering things via a pointy-click interface. I'm a computer programmer, so this is a big plus for me and when you get used to it you can go much faster than with a graphical interface.
I uploaded all my Lilypond sources here: http://www.box.net/shared/4qcboqkbto in case you're not scared off already! It's all much easier than it looks on first glance.

Thanks for the scores keirf, I'll check them out tonight! 
Hope you liked them. I only uploaded the ones I'm really sure I got right. I use Transcribe to slow down fills when necessary, so I reckon I'm pretty accurate.
Just looking at some of your latest ones. Very nice!

Today's transcription...
Mr. Brightside
There are parts of the tune where there are two drum tracks (eg. middle 8) so I made it as straight forward and playable as I could.
quote: Thanks for all these - good work
Thanks Richard, hope there's a few tunes that you can use.
quote: these are great! i learn songs by writting out the drum score, but although my ear for rythm is good i cannot always work out what is being hit. will now try fight for the right with the crashes where i was not doing them before. one suggestion-- what tempo are the original tracks. i can get it eventually but would be good to know what someone else thinks
Hey granny, thanks for the feedback and the suggestion of adding a metronome mark. I'll put one on the scores from now on.
quote: Hope you liked them. I only uploaded the ones I'm really sure I got right. I use Transcribe to slow down fills when necessary, so I reckon I'm pretty accurate.
Yeh keirf, great work! You should definitely put more up if you've got them! 
quote: Great stuff guys. I must have a look at Sibelius, it would be much better than my own scribbled notation.
Go for it Wendy, It's been a great help for creating clean charts for gigs and for teaching.

Thanks DN,
I've recently started to learn notation so once I know what all the symbols mean I'll give some a go

Downloaded my 8 steps to bad ass drumming the other day. Set my kit up last night as described. Never really realised before, but have been setting my kit to what I think looks right and perhaps not the most natural to play. Tried the "air drum" method and was surprised to find my set up changed from how I have been playing for years! Felt great and really made things easier! Cool! Thanks DN!  |
They've done studies you know. 60% of the time, Leggomen sound good every time. |

Just uploaded another video lesson for you guys...
7/8 Odd Time Drumming
If you're ever feeling adventurous with any of the lessons it would be cool to see some of your own beats/variations up on youtube. That way we all have a big bank of ideas to pull from!

Nice one John! Well done for getting your teeth into learning notation, it really is a useful skill to have. Good luck with it and if you have any questions don't hesitate to fire them up here in the forum.

That's great Leggoman, I'm really glad that you've benefited from 8 Steps and you've found a nice, ergonomic set-up that's easy for you to play. You should find you're a wee bit niftier when you're tearing it up and you can play with less fatigue. Thanks man! 
quote: Hey Ninja - great stuff. And should help my reading come on a bit further.
Many thanks
Thanks for the kind words Pete, glad I can be of assistance!
Good luck with your reading buddy!

An easy one for the weekend...
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
Hey Granny,
Not sure where the drum clef actually came from or when it was introduced but it's a neutral clef that is used for untuned percussion. We used to use a bass clef most of the time but the neutral clef is the standard these days.
I'm digitizing about 100 hand written transcriptions that I've done already so won't be taking any requests for a while. Nancy Boy is a pretty interesting tune though so I'll try to take a look at it at a later date.
Thanks!

Thanks SO much for your kind words guys. I really hope that you can find a good few hours worth of practice material that will help raise your drum game in some way!

I know there are plenty of Travis Barker haters in the world but this is still a favorite with many drum students...

Hey Granny, Is that an email update? I forgot to send one out last Wednesday for the Jimmy Cobb interview so I'll make sure it never happens again!
I've set up a facebook fan page so you can get updates there whenever I post a new transcription, video or interview. Apologies for dropping the ball!! 
quote: DN, how many hits are you getting on this?
Keep posting more please.
Hey Julian, there are quite a few hits (low thousands) now and I'm on a mission to get 50 charts up by the end of the year. Thanks for the encouragement buddy!

Haha! Cheers Paddy!

My pleasure Bufton, I think a few folks have been getting that one wrong. It's not that clear on the recording but when you watch the live clips it's much more obvious what's going on!
