Drum Charts

This repository contains drum charts for various songs, created using LilyPond. The base for these charts is usually transcriptions from Drumeo (though some have since been removed and are no longer available). In other cases, the source may be random internet material or my own transcriptions.

About LilyPond

LilyPond is a music engraving software that generates beautiful sheet music from text-based input files. Unlike traditional music notation software, LilyPond uses a powerful scripting approach, allowing for detailed customization and high-quality output.

Structure of Drum Charts

Each drum chart in this repository is organized by song sections, making it easy to navigate between different parts of the song (e.g., Intro, Chorus, Bridge). The charts separate hands and feet using custom voices (stems up for hands, stems down for feet), with clear labels for each section.

Key Elements:

  • Section-based layout: Drum parts are split into song sections, making it easier to focus on individual segments during practice.
  • Custom Notation: We’ve defined custom notation in definitions.ly for unique visual clarity. This allows for an easily readable format that highlights critical rhythmic patterns and beats.
  • Legend: A legend.pdf is available to explain all custom symbols and notation used in the charts.
  • Alternatives: Sometimes alternatives are used for beginnings, sometimes for endings, and sometimes they are nested.
