3 - Ocean Avenue
Drum Tab
By stke22

Tempo = 175

C - Crash (left)
Sp - Splash (middle)
Cr - Crash 2 (right)
R - Ride (above floor tom, represents crash and clean ride cymbal)
H - Hi-Hats
T - Tom-Tom
S - Snare
F - Floor Tom
B - Bass

b - Bell (can be tambourine overdub, or miscellenous overdub)
f - Foot Pedal
f - Flam (grace note)
g - Ghost Note
O - Accent/open
X - Accent/half-open

Notes: These are some helpful tips for reading this tab:
1. On the hi-hat verses, you accent every 1, 2, 3, and 4th beat whenever you hit it. For the best help, 
check out the drummer for Billy Talent\'s video River Below. He shows you what you should do for these parts.
Also known as the \"The Rocking Hi-Hat Motion.\"
2. The bell of the ride is sort of hard to do. The first beat is okay, but the second one is really hard to 
fit it in there.
3. Refer to tip 1 for the ride part in the choruses.
4. So the bell is an overdub... Might as well skip it and just hit the ride.

Updated: 6/25/04 - Thx for comment, fixed unneccessary beats, added a lot of stuff. Should be 100% perfect. No other tab can best this one :P.

7/10/04 - Noticed a part where I just copied and pasted and didn\'t see what was wrong there
(2nd Chorus last part), so I fixed it. Also I changed the post 1st Chorus interlude tom into the floor tom
just because it sounds heavier.

7/12/04 - Added more beats to pre-chorus fills.

7/20/04 - Added things from second comment. Thx for comments!

7/24/04 - Added tips for hard parts. Fixed a few stuff.

8/1/04 - Appreciating comments. Added some more stuff for hi-hats, variation for interlude fill. I also 
think he uses two ride cymbals.

8/9/04 - Fixed ALL drum fills that has toms in them. Also added some bass notes to third fill.

8/26/04 - I have a Guitar Pro 4 tab of this. And I\'ve add more notes. BTW, I GOT IN THE TOP FIVE! HOORAY!

9/12/04 - I have re-editted all the fills with toms just because. Also editted outro.

10/8/04 - Moved the updates to top of tab (scroll down! mwhahaha). If you want variations of fills, look in
the corrections. I think this is my best drum tab and it\'s for keepers! BTW, I redid my kit to have one tom
tom, so that\'s why you see one tom in this tab. Thanks for comments and keep the ratings coming!



If you have Guitar Pro 4 and would like to have that instead, add me to your MSN and ask me for it.

or this:

B|o--o--o--o--o--o|--o--o--o--g-----|

I prefer first fill. It\'s easier and that was what I originally heard on the recording.

Comments on this version of the 'Ocean Avenue' drums tab

samuraispatsamuraispatUnknown Date
ok for one although i beleive the chorus sounds better using quater notes while crashing on the ride, in the video the drummer is oviously doing eigth notes, every other one accented. the same goes for the verses, instead of quater notes on the hats it is accented eigth notes. lastly, there is no tamborine-at 0:17 it is just on the ride (look in the video). good job on the fills.

Okay, minor mistakes, The main beat for this song is:


H|x-g-x-g-x-g-x-g-|x-g-x-g-x-g-x-g-|


S|----o-------o---|----o-------o---|


B|--o---o-o---o---|--o---o-o-o---o-|





And not:


H|x-g-x-g-x-g-x-g-|x-g-x-g-x-g-x-g-|


S|----o-------o---|----o-------o---|


B|--o---o-o-------|--o---o-o-o---o-|





It's just you have to add in a bass drum hit. And also, where you have something like this:





S|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-OOOOOOOOOOOO|


F|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-------------|


B|o---------------|----------------|





it's acctualy:


S|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-OOOOOOOOOOOO|


F|o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-|o-o-------------|


B|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---|





And everything else SEEMS good. Good job!
TayeDrums010TayeDrums010Unknown Date
The fill right before the interlude is triplets and the bass just follows the accent liek you have it except its triplets





SD|OooOooOooOooOooO|ooOooOooOoOOOOOO|











and for the Ride parts....im not sure if hes using the bell,it might be bells dubbed over,because when i seen them at Hard Rock Life(wich is on MTV) He just played his ride with no accents....so i dunno?It also doesnt sound liek a ride bell either,its very very high pitched.....
glarbinatorglarbinatorUnknown Date
"9/12/04 - I have re-editted all the fills with toms just because. Also editted outro."





Wait! I think the drummer has three toms! One rack, two floor. I think it was perfect before you editted it. Oh well.
jasontheseechinzjasontheseechinzUnknown Date
i think the fill just before the interlude is:





s|0oo0oo0oo0oo0oo0|oo0oo0oo0ooo0ooo|


b|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---|





if u hear carefully the bass drum should sound this way.. in total 8 notes for the fill..
schleprockschleprockUnknown Date
Actually I think the fill in question right before 2:13 is like this:





S|OooOooOooOooOooO|ooOooOooOOOOOOOO|


B|o---o---o---o---|o---o---o---o---|





The snare part is like the second one you have, but the bass drum is on the downbeat of every count.





Also, it sounds to me like the opening hit is on the & of count 3, not on the downbeat of count 4.





You did a GREAT job on this tab.
polarpolarUnknown Date
