EVERY STING CHART

LEARNING STING ON DRUMS

6 Sting drum parts are transcribed here, 767 bars of music in total, filed under adult contemporary, classic rock, pop and pop rock. 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. 6 of these 6 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 "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You" at 99 BPM, the slowest of them, or "Rushing Water" at 101 bars, the shortest. Sheet music, tab, MIDI and MusicXML download from every chart if you would rather read it away from the screen.
