WorkBook & Notes:


Hey drummer, in this PDF you will find three blank music sheets, 8 staves
each, that you can print in as many copies as you like.
You can use them to keep your studies and ideas arranged, and for your
transcriptions.
Also, on the last page there is a table that you can print to monitor how
much you improve in your practice sessions.

There is nothing worse than forgetting a great groove or fill because you
didn’t have anything around to jot them down ;-)

In the first score we have a measure for each line, in the second 2 and
in the third 4.

This helps to keep your transcriptions organized, since many times song
forms (verse, chorus etc) are structured in multiples of 4.

The first score is generally more suitable for single ideas, while the last
one is more useful for transcribing songs.

Being able to see 4 bars at a time is very convenient when reading a


chart and trying to identify the song form at a glance (for example intro
of 4 measures = first staff, verse of 8 measures = 2nd and 3rd staff, chorus
of 8 measures = 4th and 5th, and so on).

On the left of each page, you will find a blank margin that you can use
for your notes, or to number ideas and exercises.

You can also use it to write down useful details like which cymbal you
are using to keep time, what dynamic level you are playing, which part of
the song you are in etc...

For each of the three scores there’s also a version without margins, in
case you prefer to use them that way.

As you start transcribing, if you want you can indicate the bpm and the
time signature.

As I said, at the end of the PDF I’ve included a table with 6 columns,
one for each day of the week - assuming you take a break once a week,
which I hope you do :-).

It’s super easy to monitor your improvement when you record every day
the bpm of each exercise you are practicing and for how long you have
worked on it.

Use the cells in the first column on the left to note what it is that you are
practicing.

You may print one page for each area you are working on (hand tech-
nique, independence, sight reading, interpretation, phrasing, and so on).
This is a very simple, yet very effective habit.

Have a great time practicing and writing down ideas and always re-
member how important it is to keep all your study material organized,
and to monitor your progress.

Enjoy!
