I'm working on a website that includes some stuff about drum notation - go to www.insidethemusic.co.uk and click on the drum notation link.
It's a hobby! And I use it in my FE teaching - music theory, aural, song analysis.
I'm always open to suggestions about what else the site could provide. Post comments here or fill in the form on the site.

The site seemed to be down when I visited.
So how do you find drum notation, I'm sure many people here would appreciate some advice. It seems an excellent way to get learn a lot of material quickly.
I was in this "working" band where we were all given parts for new tunes, we used to get through dozens and dozens very rapidly and instantly be able to back up local performers with their music charts.
Do you teach drums yourself?

Hey do I spell like a drummer?!
Drum notation has to be treated as a guide - you've got to put in enough information to give the player crucial info (like phrases, grooves, stops, accents) without making the part so complicated that it can't be read.
I think the best reading drummer I ever worked with was Toby Drummond on the Rocky Horror Show - he sight-read the stuff BUT made it feel like he was making up his own part.
The way Rock School has standardised drum notation is pretty good, though I strip it down even more, only using 2 spaces on the stave for toms (high and low).
I'll put some more examples on www.insidethemusic.co.uk in the near future. |

Sounds good, we have a downloads section here [url=http://www.audiocourses.com/downloads.html]
NOTATION DOWNLOADS
[/url], you may want to add some downloads too. We will have some drum notation examples there soon also.
WE have a great transcriber at our disposal "Bob" who has the ears of an elephant, so if you need anything transcribed he offers good rates.
