Scott SchroedlBest of Blink - 182: Not-For-Note Drum Transcriptions (Note-For-Note Drum Transcriptions)

Thankyou, recommended :o) bought as a present for my son, not given this book to him yet but he's been after it for ages

The book is extremely accurate- literally note for note- and the songs are fun to play through as well. Quality buy, would recommend!

Oh My God!!How long have fellow drummers and drummeresses around the world been waiting for a moment like this. The official drum scores for a best-of selection of Blink 182. I'm a huge fan of the band, and I have the guitar scores, but to be honest you don't have to be Einstein to either work out or play the parts, so I was perfectly happy with the acuracy and standard those books. However when I heard about the drum parts I was so worried, it would not meet up to the standard of Travis, and would be entirely simplified. Remain at ease.. It is not! the transcriber has done his Travis' stupendous and innovative rhythms justice. The first in the book is Adam's song, and not a detail missed out. Each separate cymbal (crash, splash, china, ride bell! - you name it) is all clearly notated, and as far as I can make out, nearly every fill and beat, will play as on the record. The book is in alphabetical order and features songs from as far back as Dude Ranch - although bearing in mind the 2 used (Pathetic and Dammit) were played by old drummer Scott Raynor. Anthem Part 2 is a particular favourite and the drumming in that is fast and funky, especially the verse. This was all done correctly and will not disappoint people with a fetish for detail! All The Small Things, Alien's Exist, Fist Date, The Rock Show, Adam's Song, Stay Together For The Kids are just some of the tracks transcribed here, unfortunately released before the new album was, but we can always hope there will be a next time. Another bonus, is the vocals and chord markings (for guitarists/bassists) are included so you can't lose your place easily. Very reasonably priced this is an absolutely essential buy for any Blink or Travis fans, or a drummer who wants to broaden their styles. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Very good and accurate drum book for perfecting the songs. Just wish it included a backing CD For you to play along with
