Comments on this version of the 'The Breakup Song (They Don't Write Em)' drums tab

There's full band hits at the start of each chorus, and I'm pretty sure the bass drum just plays quarter notes with the rest of the band, not the eights you have notated. Looks good otherwise.

Thanks for the comment but if you listen to the song, the bass drum is on the beat and the & of 1 and 3. The only exception is coming into the crash where it may be a quarter note bass hit. The HH is played in Quarters with semi loose action. Please listen before you AXE my submission

Hardly axing your submission, I was referring specifically to the full-band hits on 1 and 2 that kick off each chorus (right before "they don't write em...) - in these measures, the BD plays on 1 and 3, but you have the same BD pattern throughout. A minor detail that makes this just short of a perfect TAB.

Cool...I get it....listening through an IPOD can drown the BASS and BD together. I can hear it a little more clearer now. So instead of 1 & BD hit in Chorus 1 AND 2, you Say it is just a BD hit on 1

correct
