Check out the full transcriptions for educational purposes.

I have learned from experience that what you need on a gig is groove and form. Charts are a map. YOU PLAY THE MUSIC.

Gigging Drum Charts provides you with the map. I write out the groove and form but leave room for you to take notes and write in alternate endings.

I recommend making copies and keeping your master chart clean. Then, on the copies you can take notes and write alterations for each of the bands you play with.

These charts are straight from the popular recordings. They are the versions most likely played. You can print them and take them to the gig in minutes. Simply read along while listening to the track. This way you'll catch all the hits and stops and sound like you've always known the music.

If you need the track check out the MP3 player to the right. This contains all of the charted songs in alphabetical order.

Just remember - if you're having fun, so is the rest of the band and, the gig is yours.
