Br yan Adams - "Summer Of 69"

Verse 1

Pre Chorus

This song is very fun to play. Start out with a snare flam in the beginning, thencome in with this beat below after a few bars or guitar intro.

The pre chorus is similar to the fist verse, however there is a few more bass drumshots.

The chorus of this song is basically the main riff, there is not too many vocals.Play this basic beat on the ride cymbal to spice things up.

Chorus

Verse 2

This pre chorus is played almost identical to the second verse.

Pre Chorus

There is a tom and snare crescendo into the second verse.

This is when the song breaks and hits the shot. I have notated the shots exactly,

Solo 2

Bridge / Outro

The second solo has a 2 bar build up, then goes into the following beat. Thisgroove accents the rhythm guitar shots.

The bridge slowly builds up into another solo that is played until the end of thesong. Start out by bringing the dynamics down by playing the beat on your crossstick. From there move to a half time snare beat.

Double up your snare drum shot as the bridge progresses. Move right into thesolo beat until the end.

Maroon 5 - "This Love"

Intro

Verse 1

This song starts with a very groovy beat. It is played at a different dynamic fromthe rest of the song. Remember to make this whole song groove by sitting back othe beat a bit. Try and follow the piano shots.

The last bar in the intro picks up into the first verse of the song. This is a similar beat, however it is played with more volume, and more bass drum notes.

The chorus follows the same groove, with just more bass drum and cymbals. Alsnote that there is a tambourine in the background.

Chorus 1

Verse 2

Same feel as the first chorus.

Chorus 2

The second verse is the same as the first. There is a short drum break, howeveryou do not have to follow it since there is still a back beat played in the recording

This song is a very heavy driving song that always leaves the hi hats open. Itstarts out with a hi hat pattern shown below. Repeat this until the toms come in.

This section here is built up by a crescendo on your toms and snare. The mainbeat is a simple rock pattern. Play that pattern for the short intro and verse.

Verse

The chorus is a basic rock feel with a few extra shots on the bass drum. This is th

main 4 bar pattern played, however keep an ear open for bass drum and cymbalshots.

Micheal Jackson - "Beat It"

Main Loop

The song Beat It is a very fun song to play. The whole song is a drum loop -meaning the same beat is played over the whole song. Below is that beatnotated out. Learn this and you learn the song.

There is a hand clap in the recording played on the four count that you canaccent if you wanted with a snare drum flam stroke.Remember to hit a crash cymbal when the verse changes into the chorus, andopen the hi hats a little when the solo kicks in. Either than that this song is quite

simple, just groove with this beat!

The song Billie Jean is a very fun song to play, and it is similar to Beat It.The whole song is a drum loop - meaning the same beat is played over thewhole song. Below is that beat notated out. Learn this and you learn the song.

Nirvana - "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Intro

Verse 1 &Pre Chorus

This song starts with a guitar intro, and moves right into a powerful drum fill.I have notated the intro fill and beat below. Remember to keep your hi hats open

The verse is a very simple eight note beat. As the verse progresses into thepre chorus, open up the hi hats and build with a crescendo.

There is a powerful fill played right before the chorus. It is a 16th note fill notatedbelow. The chorus follows the same feel as the intro with open hi hats.

Chorus 1

Verse 2 &Pre Chorus

Same idea as the first chorus.

Chorus 2

The second verse is the same as the first. Again, build up the pre chorus withopen hi hats and a crescendo.

Shania Twain - "Man! I Feel Like a Woman"

Intro / Verse

Chorus

This is a very simple country song that does not focus too much on the beat.Meaning there is a basic quarter note feel for the whole song. All you need todo is learn this and listen for the breaks to cut out.

The song starts ound with a crash and snare and then goes right into the mainfeel. Keep your hi hats closed but not tight to get a washy sound from them.

For an added challenge, try to play this shuffle beat below instead. This will givethe song a more swing feel to it an really make it groove.

Alternate Groove

Once you familiarize yourself with this song you will realize there is not much toit. As long as you can develop the grooves above you should have no problemplaying the song. Just listen for the breaks and shots!

U2 - "Beautiful Day"

Intro

Verse 1

Beautiful Day has an underlying pulse on the bass drum. Most of this song youwill follow that 3 note pulse. There is an eight note pick for the intro of the song.

The first verse follows the main pulse. Do not move to your hi hats for this verse,instead accent your snare hits with a tambourine.

The chorus is really energetic, with a driving feel.

Chorus 1

Verse 2

This is the same as the first, however there is a second part to the chorus in whic

the beat does not change.

Chorus 2

In the second verse, move to the hi hats to give it a more complete sound.

U2 - "With Or Without You"

First Feel

Second Feel

This song actually has only 3 parts played in it. The whole song is based off of the tom groove notated below. Play the first feel for about a minute and a half as you slowly build the volume with a slow crescendo.

The second feel comes in after the first chorus. It is similar to the first feel, onlyyou accent the snare drum, and play a few more toms. Remember to hit the opehi hat at the end of the pattern.

The third feel is a bit bigger then the previous two. This is played for the bridge,and has a tambourine in the background. Play more toms, and a bit louder.

Third Feel

Ending

For the ending of this song, bring the volume and groove back to the first, andslowly build it from there as the song dynamics change.
