_ _ _ _ _ Basic drum notation.
_ _ _ _ _ This is our music staff.
We have five [Cm] lines and four spaces.
_ First,
we draw the percussion clef.
[C] This indicates that we are going to notate drums.
Every line
or space represents drum [G] parts from our drum set.
So let's see the drums. _
_ The kick or bass drum
belongs to the first space.
It can also be placed on the first line.
[C] _
_ _ The snare drum is written in
the third space.
If we use an X, we are notating the cross stick technique.
_ _ [Ab] _ [G] The hi-hat is placed
in the first space above the staff with an X if we want a closed hi-hat.
To represent open hi-hat,
we draw a circle surrounding the X or above it.
[Cm] _
Hi-hat foot is placed below the staff.
[Db] _
_ _ _ [Cm] Now let's
go to the toms. _
The fourth space is reserved for [G] the first tom, [C] the high tom.
_ Then on the fourth
line goes the second tom or mid tom.
_ [E] Finally, the floor tom on the second space.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ The most common
[A] symbols on [D] every drums are [Am] the ride symbol [A] represented on [D] the fifth line and the crash
symbol [A] on the first line above the staff. _
