This transcription was originally published on 4/6/20. It was updated on 20/5/21 to include a drum legend and improve the transcription.


A couple of things to watch out for in this track:

  • You’ll see “rall.” written above bar 29. This is short for rallentando, which means gradually slow down. The slow down continues up until bar 33, where the tempo stays at 105bpm, rather than the 143bpm that the song started at

  • The circle/plus symbols in bar 33 means to open then quickly close the hi-hats as you hit them. Listen to the track to get an idea what that sounds like.

The rest of the transcription should be fairly self explanatory. If in doubt, listen to the track!
