LEARNING CREAM ON DRUMS
12 Cream drum parts are transcribed here, 1,042 bars of music in total, filed under classic rock, blues rock, rock and 60s. Every one of them is a chart read from a real score rather than a tab somebody typed out: the notes are where the score put them, the tempo is the record’s own, and the page plays the recording underneath while you read.
Nothing here asks you to play it at full speed on the first pass. Take any chart down to half tempo, loop the four bars that will not come clean, and bring it back up. 9 of these 12 songs also have a practice course under them: the part broken into the few things actually different about it, one at a time, ending with you playing the whole song against the record.
A good place to start is "Sitting On Top Of The World" at 67 BPM, the slowest of them, or "Sitting On Top Of The World" at 57 bars, the shortest. Sheet music, tab, MIDI and MusicXML download from every chart if you would rather read it away from the screen.
