STOP GUESSING. START PLAYING

Are you a professional or experienced drummer tired of writing last-minute notes on a napkin? Got a last minute dep gig and need to learn a lot of songs fast?

DRUMCHARTS.CO.UK is here for you and offers concise drum charts designed specifically for the busy, working drummer.

Ben’s drumming career has seen him play over 600 functions gigs, multiple tours and 100s of studio sessions. All of this has required learning lots of songs quickly. To help with speed (and a bad memory) he developed a unique short-hand method of writing drum charts that would conveniently fit on one page and give him all the essential info needed to be able to play the song accurately every time.

Just a reminder, these charts are not full transcriptions or shorthand scores. They are a combination of text and notation that contain only the essential info you’ll need to play the song from start to finish all on one page. They are designed for drummers who:

  • Know the song and need a reliable map.

  • Have a foundational understanding of music notation.

  • Requires quick-reference reminders, not full note-for-note transcriptions.

  • Needs to nail the arrangement every single time.

Each chart is clearly laid out containing the following:

  • Song structure (intro, verse, bridge, chorus etc).

  • Length of each section.

  • What type of beat to play and on what cymbal (hi-hat, ride, disco, 4 to the floor etc).

  • Featured notation for specific stops, accents, fills etc.

  • Other info such as important dynamics, tempo changes, time signature changes.
