Drum Transcriptions For Learning Drums

learn to read drum transcriptions

Here you will find drum transcriptions for learning to play drums to some popular songs.  Learning drums by playing along to songs is an excellent tool for the development your drumming skills.  As a drum teacher I want to discover and nurture the musical interests of my students by finding out what music they like.  Some students are open to just about anything while others have very particular tastes in music and I adjust the lessons for that.  Beginning with easily accessible songs and progressing to more demanding ones I am able to lead my students through varying styles and the technical demands required.  Once my student has gained good control of a song we make a video performance of the song,  I’ve found that once a student gets a song or two under their belt, the fire has been lit; Success has been tasted and the learning accelerates!
