Transcriptions

I have two binders of educational materials that I have collected over my learning and teaching careers: Drums and Cymbals, Vol. 1 & 2. Vol. 2 has several transcriptions I’ve both written and collected from previous teachers. (In my Masters, I transcribed far too many drummers.) I thought it would be only fair to upload only the ones I’ve done (for free) on my website!

This is being updated weekly as I freshen up/double-check old transcriptions. My ears have changed and I want to make sure these are as accurate as possible. There are plenty to get you started, though! Please feel free to reach out regarding my philosophy on transcriptions and how to use them without just copying the greats. Happy shedding!
