INTRODUCTION This book presents drum solos in an easy to read form, encourages improvisation and independence, and leads to a higher level of technical achievement. It covers many aspects of modem drum playing and at the same time increases an understanding of ‘musical notation. It contains hundreds of different grooves and fills, which can be practiced individually. To make the best use of this book, choose the solos you like most and work carefully through them from bar to bar until you can play them accurately and without stopping. Good luck and keep on drumming. 19 25 31 35 4 45 47 51 56 59 CONTENTS Drum Notation Legend Note Values Pop Rock Solos (Solos 1-8) Warm-Up Solos (Solos 9-14) Funk Rock Solos (Sixteenth-Note Based) (Solos 15-20) Funk Rock Solos (Eighth-Note Based) (Solos 21-26) 6/8 Solos (Solos 27-28) 718 Solos (Solos 29-30) Rock Fusion Solos (Solos 31-36) Rock Fusion Solos (Accented Upbeats) (Solos 37-40) Rock Fusion Solos (Quarter-Note Based) (Solos 41-42) Hard Rock Solos (Solos 43-46) Jaz Solos (Solos 47-51) Shuffle Solos (Solos 52-54) Jazz Fusion Solos (Solos 55-66) —Tom HapkeDRUM NOTATION LEGEND —| RIGHT TOM _ ——| Accenr (PLAY LOUD)NOTE VALUES RESTS WHOLE NOTE HALF NOTES QUARTER NOTES EIGHTH NOTES 3 a J 3 EIGHTH NOTE TRIPLETS Fo FT eee SIXTEENTH NOTES SIXTEENTH-NOTE TRIPLETS : : = THIRTY-SECOND NOTESSOLO I Pop RockSOLO 2 Pop RockSOLO 3 Pop RockSOLO 4 Pop Rock TL) Jee == =e = == v fa f | 7 HP | TTS ee ee ae = : = oo ee tr ia LES LJ Lee =e cae 7 7 I ‘areal * F | TT yd al ——= ee aa | Tt eee eta tae IJ JJ JJ. =e t SS asa LY EE ee | aa feb: Le bE == = ee f Cy EEO? t eeSOLO 5 (0) Pop Rock mmSOLO 6 Pop Rock EPerr me =e Seeman TLSOLO 7 Pop Rock me | | ee a eySOLO & Pop Rock me -—————Paradiddles = x 2 (ae eee r (eee HE Tad J tIJIJJII ———Paradiddles ————— —- Paradiddles — AW Tt ¢& ye ;——Paradiddles — RRL RRL Teen od Gee ee i ene meneSOLO 9 & Warm-up Solo x ae = | | (alt | (==) —— |Warm-up Solo SOLO 10 r 4 r im z ae | Se rT = SS Se eee * r Ce OS | —— r ml a = TSOLO I1 (e) Warm-up Solo manSOLO 12 Warm-up SoloSOLO 13 (& Warm-up SoloSOLO 14 (0) Warm-up SoloSOLO 15 ©) Funk Rock mar RLRLRLRLSOLO 16 Funk Rock mei ft z 7 Pret mn ro eee! 6 Co| SOLO 17 (0) Funk Rock nnnSOLO 18 Funk Rock 4 ae Ta Tn #7 BE = oe Crt? pF Tritt? ipSOLO 19 & Funk Rock TT me) Jd) eb = E = = z (aan laee r cr 7SOLO 20 Funk Rock co oT OLD mo snSOLO 21 (, Funk Rock merJ T_T, SOLO 22 Funk Rock r analSOLO 23 2 Funk RockSOLO 24 Funk Rock mui Cl ss, iis TT fo = eae ‘EF fSOLO 25 Funk Rock JJ J) JJ)) Jee 4M kek te 7) 3 3 3 Bs Bese sed, (open hi hat)> v v v wv iy 29SOLO 26 Funk Rock RLLRRLRLERRL 33 LL Ide | ae o_o a ce ti b> a n va JlisJ JJ. = ——| BEREC) LIcr LT |, ooSOBQ27 & 8 iba 7 7 ii eeSOLO 28 ;— Double Paradiddles ——, RLREE RR U RE RoeSOLO 29 & 718 33SOLO 30 718 | Ja’ | J Jf anilSOLO 31 (oy Rock Fusion (Ride Cymbal) fj ya ‘— Paradiddles —— x x x x x t — Paradiddles —, fer) 7 35SOLO 32 Rock Fusion Lo ie) a xxx = EL J Lis ie] LE =a a = Es = iy es 4 ale et 6 Jd zz ire rf LUSOLO 33 ( Rock FusionSOLO 34 () Rock Fusion men R LRLR — Paradiddles — 4SOLO 35 ( Rock FusionSOLO 36 Rock Fusion mmen RLLRRLRRLLRRERRLRSOLO 37 Rock Fusion menSOLO 38 Rock Fusion ey iedSOLO 39 Rock Fusion 43SOLO 40 Rock FusionSOLO 41 Rock Fusion R LR | | RLLURRLRN nl ah J (" ® x OHH ~ & FB Sy g — ha S Z |] —4 Ss 4 iI 2 * _/ —4]|| [> _ P . ea 40 6 —a})|a— ae ae TCI al Uf | - a : 4) Loe oe fe Lee 46SOLO 43 ) Hard RockSOLO 44 Hard Rock ere P @ zs z 1 i mooie. ot corSOLO 45 Hard Rock Jj Jj jj ,.
