Chart # 2

"Fool In The Rain" By Led Zeppelin










Click here to hear John Bonham play the groove: http://www.saladrecords.com/BonhamFile22.mp3

To hear the entire song go here : http://www.drummerworld.com/Sound/johnbonhamfool.mp3


Notes:

A) When there is a "4" over a bar with a repeat sign in it, that means that you repeat that bar 4 times.
B) Many of the crashes are written above the staff. This makes them easier to see and eliminates the need to write the
entire bar again. Just play them as written.
C) This is the famous "Bonham Half Time Shuffle" groove. The trick to playing it is to relax as much as possible and let the
grace notes bounce off of the snare head. Also, use a strong 1/4 note pulse on the HiHat while playing the shuffle rhythm.

Have Fun!

Hey rlrrll,

What a great service! Charts are sometimes hard to come by, so I appreciate every chart you post. A chart of the week is a great idea, kind of like what they do on the Vic Firth educational web site.

Thanks a heap,

Alex

No Problem.

There's more on the way.

Chart 3 "Driven To Tears" by The Police







If you want to hear the song, go here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBCbr0stlaM

Notes:
This song is a monster. It shows off Stewart Copland in full flight.
the tempo is is in the 150 -160 range on the record. The video is faster.
Notice the ride/bell accents in the verses. This is Copeland's trademark.
He plays straight 8th notes, but moves his stick from the bell to the body of the cymbal at random. He sticks to a basic accent pattern in this song, but you can play around with it.

The chorus's have a big crash on 3 of each bar, but his unorthodox fills make it seem more complicated that it is. Note the use of splash cymbals during the fills.

Good Luck on this one!! It should really get your reading into shape.

In Honor of this Summers "CrueFest Tour"









Click here to see the video of the song: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ne-Pg4r33bM

Notes:
This is not a 'note for note' chart. I haven't written in the fills during the chorus' or all of the hi-hat splashes or cymbal chokes in the bridge. But this should be enough for you to learn the song.

All of you double bass gurus should have no problem with the intro! Back in the day, we all thought Tommy Lee was the man!

Notice the use of the "First Ending" bracket to show the repeat of the verse. The entire "first ending' encompasses 4 bars, until you see the "repeat sign:. go back to the double bass groove at the top of the page from there.

Have fun,

tc
