What is a drum transcription?

In music, transcribing is the practice of notating a piece or a song as written music. Usually, this is done with recorded music that was previously unnotated.

A drum transcription is, in this case, a notated version of the drum performance from recorded songs. In rock music, drum parts are usually written and performed without notation. These drum parts can inspire other musicians to pick up a pair of sticks and learn to play the parts, figuring out performance tricks in the process.

The transcriptions on this website are meant to aid the learning process of aspiring drummers by providing readable versions of exciting, complicated drum performances.
