Anyone know where I can get some basic drum sheet music free online?

Like sheet music for popular rock songs and such.

I probably don't have an advanced enough drum kit for most songs, but I wanna see what I can get through. biggrin.gif (I am teaching myself drums on my sister's drum set)

I have a crash, ride, high-hate, 2 tom-toms, base drum, and a floor tom

get yourself a good pair of headphones and do it yourself... with a pair of dt-100's (and a few hours) i can transcribe a song 100% accurately, no matter how technical... ok maybe not jazz/latin improvisation... but basicly any song is easy enough.

a score program like cubase, logic or ideally sebalius also helps, as you can test the drum score before you right it down so you know its correct...

also transcribing it yourself is the best way to memorise it in my opinion...

theres no good drum tabs on the net, so dont bother looking.. your gonna have to buy the book if you want it pre-tabbed for you.. plus books are usually wrong... theres so many little bits that just get missed out of you dont transcribe it yourself.. bits you just dont notice even if its your favorite song

edit: you will have to listen to some 2-3 second parts 20-50 times to work out what theyre doing on more technical bits... just a heads up.. but doing it yourself is the only way imo

Like Dysgenics Said you will have to do it yourself Or if you wish to cover bands songs perfectly Buy the manuscript books the band release. (check eebay)
If you wish to learn beats just look them up on youtube and learn that way.

(Or ask Dysgenics nicely to make a vid for you)

pick up a webcam for £10 that'll do the job, providing you have equipment to record the sound anyway...
