Here's another Stone Temple Pilots drum transcription from their debut album, Core (1992), with Eric Kretz on drums. "Plush" features strong laid-back drum grooves and fills, embellished with ghost notes and buzz rolls 🥁 Nick Mason's drumming with Pink Floyd is defined by song-serving playing rather than flashy technique. The true power of his drumming lies in the beauty of the spaces left behind. Need a drum transcription of your favorite song or drum part? The full PDF catalog is now available for download! Here you'll find a growing library of drum sheet music, transcriptions, and exercises created to support your practice and improve your drumming 🥁✨ The third episode of this series focuses on ghost notes in an 8th-note shuffle groove. The workout features 4 shuffle grooves, playing 10 bass drum combinations 🥁 Quintuplet Drum Groove 🥁
