I got the following information from this website. It should help you understand how to read the drum tabs on my site. Good luck!! I have tried make the songs as comprehensive
as possible,
Every "-" represents a quarter of a beat (eg. 1 e + a 2 e + a. - more elaborately... 1-ee-and-uh-2-ee-and-uh-)
{3} - means the three beats directly below it is a triplet. (eg. 1TL2TL3TL4TL - more elaborately... 1 Trip-let 2 Trip-let 3 Trip-let 4 Trip-let)
______X times______ when there is... / \ "X" represents the number of times those bars are played, it does NOT mean play that bar once and then repeat it X number of times.
p. - piano (soft) f. - forte (loud) mp. - mezzo piano (moderately soft) mf. - mezzo forte (moderately loud) c. - crescendo (getting louder - keeps getting louder from where the "c." is written to the end of the "<" signs). dc - decrescendo (getting softer - keeps getting softer from where the "dc." is written to the end of the ">" signs).
Cym = Cymbals ^ - ride cymbal ~ - bell of ride cymbal (the bell of a cymbal is the raised part in the center of it). x - hit fully closed hi hat @ - hit loose hihat (used in loud, heavy parts) = - close hi hat with foot (also used when hihat is to be choked). o - hit open hi hat softly + - hit bell of open hi hat. X - crash cymbal (Dave Grohl often uses the ride cymbal as a crash and also uses two at once so I won't go into the specifics of what ones he used where, it's up to you.) # - splash cymbal
other cymbal stuff.. Choke - choke the cymbal shoulder - this means shoulder the cymbal,
this usually ering means to play every second hit with
more forte. take a look at the Milk It tab and listen to
the song; the first bars of the song for example.
Another one is does it in the verses, and if you have a
copy of the notice how he does it.
S = Snare * - soft snare hit (also not as ghost note). o - normal snare hit O - accented snare / - stick across rim X - rim shot f - flam F - accented flam
B = Bass Drum 0 - normal bass drum hit
(Dave Grohl uses only two toms, a mounted
tom and a small have used these...)
MT = Mounted tom o - normal mounted tom hit O - accented mounted tom f - flam on mounted tom F - accented flam on mounted tom
FT = Floor tom o - normal floor tom hit O - accented floor tom f - flam on floor tom F - accented flam on floor tom
(Chad Channing used three toms, in the songs that he plays I have used these....)
MT1 = Mounted Tom 1 (the smallest one) o - normal small tom hit. O - accented small tom f - flam on small tom F - accented flam on small tom
MT2 = Mounted Tom 2 o - normal medium tom hit. O - accented medium tom f - flam on medium tom F - accented flam on medium tom
FT = Floor tom o - normal floor tom hit O - accented floor tom f - flam on floor tom F - accented flam on floor tom
NOTE: if you have trouble differentiating
between "0" and "O",
An simple example with some guidelines.....
__{one bar}__ / \ | | | Cym X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| FT --------------------------------| S ----o-------o-------o-------o---| MT --------------------------------| B 0-------0-0---0-0---------0-----| 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a1 (it can be counted like this).
NOTE: the mounted tom (MT) and floor tom
(FT) lines normally
