Comments on this version of the 'Yyz' drums tab

stevedabikerUnknown Date

I find this tab very hard to read, check out some other tabs and you will see what i mean.

BIGGklumzyidyotUnknown Date

this tab is hard as shi* to read...n in the very beginning im pretty sure he plays it on his MIDI Marimba not the HH bell

tryseekerUnknown Date

Yes, it is hard to read and a bit "cluttered." But that can be fixed. The intro however, isn't played on any cymbal bell. It's played by the triangle. Another thing that confuses me is the way it is counted (see bottom of every bar). The counting varries from triplets, quadruplets and eighth notes. I also suggest that you move the legend of the tab on top, so it's not straining to read. You can also simplify the tab and don't add too much. Also, in MY opinion, the dotted notes are not necessary.

Good luck!

loppytheclownUnknown Date

what da heck du all the little marks above the tab mean? and the beginning is not the bell of a hi-hat its played by a triangle

loppytheclownUnknown Date
