Learn To Read Drum Tabs I got the following information from this website. It should help you understand how to read the drum tabs on my site. Good luck!! HH 1111 2222 3333 4444 SD ---- 2nnn ---- 4nnn BD 1111 nnn2 n33n ----   Reading Drum Tabs -     This is the way I figured out how to write the drum tabs for the songs that are posted. I wrote this so that anybody using the tabs that I have done can actually figure out what is written. I found drum tabs on a page before and I couldn't figure the damn things out. So I figured out a better way (I think) to write them.   Basically there is a code or letter for each drum or cymbal or whatever so that you know what you are hitting (pretty smart huh). You will see what it is on the tab itself because not every song uses the same drums.   The tabs will be done in 16th note unless noted otherwise. This way it is very easy to write out the beats and stuff.   I'm going to show you an example ("Helmet in the Bush") before I explain what it all means so that you can look at the example before reading what it does.   -------------------------------------------------------------   HH 1111 2222 3333 4444 SD -----2nnn------4nnn BD 1111 nnn2 n33n-----   HH = Hi- Hat SD = Snare (Drum) BD = Bass (Drum)   -------------------------------------------------------------   Okay, here's what that means. Basically each number 1, 2, 3 and 4 stand for each beat and there are 4 16th notes in a beat. The Hi-Hat goes 1111 2222 3333 4444. That means straight 16th notes. The N's stand for nothing. That means there is nothing to be played on that part of the beat. The snare on that beat would be played on 2 and 4. The extra n's are there so you don't get confused as to where the snare is being played. And the --'s are just so that there aren't an excess of n's. I used to make it without those and it just got to confusing.   Good luck figuring out my tabs and have fun.     Click here to return to my music page Sign Up For My Newsletter Subscribe | Unsubscribe Site Map | Disclaimer | Privacy Policy | Media Kit | Submissions/Corrections Website © 2000-2014 mattsmusicpage.com.
